Compulsory Purchase and Compensation: The Law in Scotland

Revised and updated - a detailed but straightforward explanation of the law relating to compulsory purchase and compensation in Scotland. The author also considers the wider area of compensation for depreciation in the value of property caused by government actions and decisions falling short of expropriation. He sets out not only to state the law, but to explain how it has emerged in its present form and to consider where change is desirable.
