Article 7 Temporary closure

Notwithstanding anything in section 23 of the Dock Act 1848 or section 13 of the 1906 Act or any other enactment, all rights of way (if any) between points X and Y over the existing river wall shall be closed during the construction of the works.

Any person who suffers loss by the temporary closure of such right of way under this article shall be entitled to compensation to be determined, in case of dispute, under Part I of the 1961 Act.

Part I of the 1961 Act shall apply to any dispute over compensation for loss as a result of the temporary closure referred to in paragraph (1) as it applies to a question of disputed compensation where land is authorised to be acquired compulsorily with such modifications as may be necessary.
