This Act amends the State Acquisition of Lands Ordinance in section 16 in paragraph (a). The principal object of this Amendment is to empower the Court when assessing the value of the land to be acquired under the State Acquisition of Lands Ordinance, to take into account the very nature of the estate or land being acquired itself and improvements on the land which the State has made whilst as a lessee or occupier of the land in question. It also empowers the Court to consider other matters, which the Court thinks appropriate and proper to take into account.
