CA39550 - IBA: Miscellaneous: Requisitioned land

CAA01/S358

Sometimes the Crown requisitions land. If it does it is treated for IBA purposes as if it had been in possession of that land by virtue of a lease during the period of requisition.

Someone who is authorised by the Crown to occupy the land during the period of requisition is treated as if the Crown had granted them a sublease.

The person who is entitled to possession of the land apart from the Crown's rights over the land may pay the Crown for a building constructed on the land during the period of requisition. If they do the payment is treated as if it were made in consideration of the surrender of the sublease.
