ABSTRACT
This chapter deals with certain other payments, provided for under the Land Compensation Act 1973 as originally enacted: these make good some deficiencies in the pre-existing compensation provisions, and are payable to certain categories of persons displaced from land. A claimant, however, may well seek legal advice following the receipt of a notice to treat, and he may need the advice of a valuation surveyor or accountant in preparing and sustaining his claim for compensation. The Secretary of State has power to vary the multiplier and to prescribe a different maximum or minimum. Accordingly the appropriate payments may vary accordingly to the date of displacement. The claim must be in writing and shall be supplemented by any further particulars the authority concerned reasonably requires to enable them to determine entitlement. The Lands Tribunal in this case considered that the claim for a statutory disturbance payment was analogous to the ordinary claim for disturbance compensation.
