LAND ACQUISITION (JUST TERMS COMPENSATION) ACT 1991 - SECT 66
Objection against amount of compensation offered
66 Objection against amount of compensation offered
(1) A person who has claimed compensation under this Part may, within 90 days
after receiving a compensation notice, lodge with the Land and Environment
Court an objection to the amount of compensation offered by the
authority of the State.
(2) If any such objection is duly lodged, the Land
and Environment Court is to hear and dispose of the person's claim for
compensation.
(3) A person who does not lodge an objection within the 90-day
period and who is taken to have accepted the offer of compensation under
section 45 may nevertheless lodge an objection under this section, but the
Land and Environment Court is not to hear and dispose of the person's claim
for compensation unless satisfied that there is good cause for the person's
failure to lodge the objection within that period.
(4) If the Land and
Environment Court decides that the amount of compensation payable (without the
addition of interest) does not exceed by more than 10% the amount of
compensation offered by the authority of the State, the Court may cancel or
reduce the amount of interest that has accrued under this Act in respect of
the compensation since the institution of the proceedings.
