Article 3 S. 10 of the London County Council (General Powers) Act 1958 (compulsory purchase orders)
The provisions of this Article shall apply in relation to any compulsory purchase order made before 1st April 1965 by the London County Council, the Common Council or the council of a metropolitan borough under section 10 of the London County Council (General Powers) Act 1958.
The order shall (subject as hereinafter provided) have effect on and after 1st April 1965 as if it had been made—
in the case of an order which relates to any highway which on that date becomes a metropolitan road or to any highway to be constructed communicating with such a road (whether the order relates to any other highway or not), by the Greater London Council, and
in the case of any other order, by the council of the London borough in which the highway to which the order relates is situated, or where the highway is situated in the City, by the Common Council.
The provisions of the last foregoing paragraph shall have effect in relation to an order subject to any amendment which may be made to the order by the Minister in exercise of powers in that behalf conferred on him by an order under section 84 of the Act of 1963.
Where by virtue of the foregoing provisions of this Article an order has effect as if made by the Greater London Council, or where by virtue of an amendment made by the Minister in exercise of the powers referred to in the last foregoing paragraph to an order to which this Article applies the Greater London Council become the authority authorised to acquire the land comprised therein, and (in either case) that order relates to any highway which is not a metropolitan road or a highway to be constructed by that Council communicating with such a road, then, for the purpose of carrying that order into effect by the Greater London Council (including the execution of any works on land comprised in the order) the provisions of section 144 of the Metropolis Management Act 1855 or, as the case may be, of section 72 of the Metropolis Management Amendment Act 1862 shall, notwithstanding the repeal of those sections under powers conferred by the Act of 1963, remain in force in relation to that highway and the powers under the relevant section shall be exercisable by the Greater London Council.
Where any order to which this Article applies has been made in exercise of a power conferred by a provision of section 10 of the said Act of 1958 and that provision has been repealed under powers conferred by the Act of 1963, the order shall not be invalidated by such repeal but shall have effect as if the said section 10 had remained in force in its entirety but with—
the substitution of references to the Greater London Council or the council of a London borough for the references to the London County Council or the council of a metropolitan borough,
the substitution in subsection (1)(a) of that section of references to Parts III and V of the Act of 1959 and Part II of the Act of 1963 for the references to the enactments mentioned in that subsection (being enactments repealed under powers conferred by the Act of 1963) and
the retention of the reference to section 144 of the Metropolis Management Act 1855 or, as the case may be, to section 72 of the Metropolis Management Amendment Act 1862 in so far as that retention is requisite for the purpose of any order to which the last foregoing paragraph of this Article applies.
For the purpose of preserving the validity of anything done before 1st April 1965 under or in relation to an order to which this Article applies and of enabling the appropriate authority and the Minister to act on or after that date under or in relation to such an order, the provisions of this Article shall apply (with any necessary modifications) to any notice served or published, document issued, inquiry or hearing held, or act or thing done under or in relation to such an order before 1st April 1965, as they apply to the order itself.
In this Article, except where the context otherwise requires, “highway” includes a proposed highway and a reference to the situation of such a highway is a reference to its situation when constructed.
