Compulsory Acquisition and Compensation

In this comprehensive treatise, each topic is dealt with under a single heading, with a minimum of cross-referencing and superfluous reading.

The first part of the book deals with the procedures relating to the acquisition of land, and the second part sets out the substantive law governing the assessment of compensation. Other than in the introductory chapter of each part, the authors have concentrated on 'modern' law, making only occasional references to the older statutes involved.

Each chapter starts with an explanation of the underlying principle, followed by a detailed exposition and a summary.
