Acquisition of Land (Allotments) Act, 1926

Scheme may be withdrawn in certain cases.

7.—(1) At any time within six weeks after the rent, terms, conditions, and compensation in respect of any land proposed to be compulsorily acquired by a local authority under this Act have been fixed by the Irish Land Commission, such local authority, if of opinion that such land cannot be let for allotments at such rents as will secure them from loss, may by notice in writing to all persons interested in the land to which the notice relates or in the rent or compensation fixed as aforesaid in respect of such land, withdraw the scheme comprising such land either wholly or in so far only as relates to such land.

(2) When a scheme is withdrawn either wholly or in part by a local authority under this section, every person on whom the notice of withdrawal was or should have been served under this section shall be entitled to be paid by such local authority all costs and expenses incurred by him in respect of the scheme or the portion thereof so withdrawn (as the case may be) or any proceedings thereunder or the withdrawal thereof, the amount of such costs and expenses, in default of agreement, to be settled by the Minister.
