ABSTRACT

The principles governing the right to compensation for injurious affection were considered in Chapter 22, where a distinction was drawn between:

(i) claims for severance and injurious affection to (i.e. depreciation in) the value of land owned by the claimant in consequence of the acquisition, under statutory powers, of adjacent land of the claimant, some or all of which was formerly “held with” it; and

(ii) claims for injurious affection to the value of land owned by the claimant in consequence of the exercise of statutory powers on adjacent land, none of which was formerly “held with” it.
