Article 32 Powers to acquire new rights

Merseytravel may compulsorily acquire such easements or other rights over any land within the permanent limits as may be required for any purpose for which that land may be acquired, by creating them as well as by acquiring easements or other rights already in existence.

Subject to section 8 of the 1965 Act (as substituted by paragraph 5 of Schedule 7 to this Order), where Merseytravel acquires a right over land under paragraph (1) Merseytravel shall not be required to acquire a greater interest in that land.

Schedule 7 to this Order shall have effect for the purpose of modifying the enactments relating to compensation and the provisions of the 1965 Act in their application in relation to the compulsory acquisition under this article or article 34 of a right over land by the creation of a new right.
