Compensation

Easements, Injurious Affection, Business Loss

Crighton Anderson is a leader in New Zealand in determining appropriate property and, if required, associated business compensation. This is particularly under the Public Works Act 1981 which provides the principal statutory provisions, however statutory authority to acquire land is provided by many Acts for a range of entities, authorities or organisations.

At Crighton Anderson we have considered injurious affection arising from land acquisitions, easement and right of way acquisition, site rentals, noise and other disturbance in both the development and post development phases associated with transmission lines, roading, pipelines, telecommunication installations, tunnels, irrigation schemes, sub stations and mining.

Business loss has been considered for businesses associated with land taken, relocation, or changes to legislation and agreements between parties. In recent times this has extended to legislative changes to lease terms and conditions, forced business closure by new road structures in an urban environment, mining operations affected by new infrastructure development, and development opportunities forgone by the Emissions Trading Scheme.
