Article 39 Extinguishment of private rights and restrictive covenants relating to apparatus belonging to National Grid or UKPN removed from land subject to temporary possessionI1

This article applies to any Order land specified in Schedule 11 (extinguishment of private rights and restrictive covenants relating to apparatus belonging to National Grid or UKPN removed from land subject to temporary possession) and any other Order land of which National Grid takes temporary possession under article 25 (temporary use of land by National Grid) or UKPN takes temporary possession under article 26 (temporary use of land by UKPN).

All private rights or restrictive covenants in relation to apparatus belonging to National Grid or UKPN removed from any land to which this article applies are extinguished from the date on which National Grid or UKPN gives up temporary possession of that land under article 25 (temporary use of land by National Grid) or 26 (temporary use of land by UKPN), as the case may be.

The extinguishment of rights by paragraph (2) does not give rise to any cause of action relating to the presence on or in the land of any foundations (save for those which lie less than 1.5 metres underground) referred to in sub-paragraph (5)(c) and F1(6)(c) of article 25 or sub-paragraph (5)(c) and (6)(c) of article 26 (National Grid and UKPN not required to remove foundations when giving up temporary possession).

Schedule 11 (extinguishment of private rights and restrictive covenants relating to apparatus belonging to National Grid or UKPN removed from land subject to temporary possession) has effect.
