CHAPTER XI.




CHARGE OF TENANT'S COMPENSATION.




CLAUSES OF THE ACT.


Power for Landlord, on paying compensation, to obtain charge.42.—A landlord, on paying to the tenant the amount of compensation due to him under this Act, may obtain from the county court a charge on the holding in respect thereof.

The court shall have power, on proof of the payment, and on being satisfied of the observance in good faith by the parties of the conditions imposed by this Act, to make an order charging the holding with repayment of the amount paid, or any part thereof, with such interest, and by such instalments, and with such directions for giving effect to the charge, as the court thinks fit.

But, where the landlord obtaining the charge is not absolute owner of the holding for his own benefit, no instalment or interest shall be made payable after the time when the improvement in respect whereof compensation is paid will, for the purposes of this Act, be taken to be exhausted.
