# Local Government (Compensation) Regulations 1948, Regulation 5


Nothing in the last preceding regulation shall entitle a person to have his case considered for compensation unless—
(a) the cause of the claim to compensation arises not later than ten years after the material date, and the claim is made not later than two years after the date on which the cause of claim arises; and
(b) (i) his office is abolished and he is not offered a reasonably comparable office under the Crown or in the local government service; or
(ii) his appointment is determined because his services are not required or because his duties are diminished (no misconduct being established); or
(iii) his emoluments are diminished:
Provided that for the purposes of this regulation a person shall not be deemed to have been offered an office which is not reasonably comparable with an office which is abolished by reason only of the fact that the duties of the office offered are duties in relation to the administration of a different service from that in connection with which his office was held or are duties which involve a transfer of his employment from one place to another within England or Wales.
