ABSTRACT

As discussed in Chapters 5–7 inclusive, the term wayleave rights includes both the basic permission to locate and retain on land an electric line and also rights ancillary to that basic permission. If during the currency of either a non-statutory or a necessary wayleave the grantor purported to revoke the basic permission and then act upon that revocation without pursuing the statutory procedures considered in Chapter 9, every factor points towards an application for an injunction on the part of the licence-holder. We discuss these factors in Chapter 17. Accordingly, the remainder of this chapter is concerned only with ancillary rights.
