Claim for compensation
|
| |
69. (1) Any person whose right, title or interest in an easement, way-leave, water right, fishing right or other right over or in respect of water has been materially adversely affected by the carrying out of a public abstraction may claim compensation from Irish Water for damage suffered by the person in consequence of that public abstraction.
|
|
| |
(2) Subject to subsection (3), a claim under subsection (1) shall be made within 52 weeks from the date of the commencement of the carrying out of the public abstraction.
|
|
| |
(3) The High Court may, on the application of a person referred to in subsection (1), extend the period referred to in subsection (2) for the making of a claim under subsection (1) where the Court is satisfied that—
|
|
| |
(a) there is good and sufficient reason for so doing, and
|
|
| |
(b) the circumstances that resulted in the failure to bring the claim under subsection (1) within the period referred to in subsection (2) were outside the control of the person.
