A practical guide to compensation for landowners under the law, explaining how value is set when land is taken or damaged by public works.

This book explains the system created by the Lands Clauses Consolidation Act of 1845, and how it applies to both general and special acts. It covers what counts as compensation, how severance and damage are assessed, and how disputes are resolved, including the roles of arbitrators and juries. The text also addresses minerals, town property, and the practical problems that arise when property is affected or taken for railways and other works.

How compensation is calculated for lands taken and for lands injuriously affected.
The difference between taking land and merely injuring property, and what remedies exist.
Special rules for minerals, town properties, and the treatment of dwellings and businesses.
How disputes are resolved, including arbitration, juries, and summary remedies.

Ideal for readers of property law, landowners facing public works, and anyone seeking a practical overview of the compensation process.
