Section 9A: Compensation payable in cases where right to enfranchisement arises by virtue of section 1A or 1B., Leasehold Reform Act 1967

If, in a case where the right to acquire the freehold of a house and premises arises by virtue of any one or more of the provisions of sections 1A , 1AA and 1B above or where the tenancy of the house and premises has been extended under section 14 below and the notice under section 8(1) above was given (whether by the tenant or a sub-tenant) after the original term date of the tenancy, the landlord will suffer any loss or damage to which this section applies, there shall be payable to him such amount as is reasonable to compensate him for that loss or damage.

This section applies to—

any diminution in value of any interest of the landlord in other property resulting from the acquisition of his interest in the house and premises; and

any other loss or damage which results therefrom to the extent that it is referable to his ownership of any interest in other property.

Without prejudice to the generality of paragraph (b) of subsection (2) above, the kinds of loss falling within that paragraph include loss of development value in relation to the house and premises to the extent that it is referable as mentioned in that paragraph.

In subsection (3) above "development value", in relation to the house and premises, means any increase in the value of the landlord's interest in the house and premises which is attributable to the possibility of demolishing, reconstructing, or carrying out substantial works of construction on, the whole or a substantial part of the house and premises.

In relation to any case falling within subsection (1) above—

any reference (however expressed)—

in section 8 or 9(3) or (5) above, or

in any of the following provisions of this Act,

to the price payable under section 9 above shall be construed as including a reference to any amount payable to the landlord under this section; and

for the purpose of determining any such separate price as is mentioned in paragraph 7(1)(b) of Schedule 1 to this Act, this section shall accordingly apply (with any necessary modifications) to each of the superior interests in question.

Section 9A: Compensation payable in cases where right to enfranchisement arises by virtue of section 1A or 1B.
