HC Deb 29 November 1973 vol 865 c552

29B.—(1) If the deposited plans or the deposited book of reference are inaccurate in their description of any land or in their statement or description of the ownership or occupation of any land, the Council, after giving ten days' notice to the owner, lessee and occupier of the land in question, may apply to the sheriff for the correction thereof.

  1. (2) If on any such application it appears to the said sheriff that the misstatement or wrong description arose from mistake, he shall certify the fact accordingly and he shall in his certificate state in what respect any matter is misstated or wrongly described.
  2. (3) The certificate shall be deposited in the office of the Clerk of the Parliaments and a copy thereof in the Private Bill Office, House of Commons, and with the sheriff-clerk of Zetland, and thereupon the deposited plans and the deposited book of reference shall be deemed to be corrected according to the certificate and it shall be lawful for the Council to take the land and execute the works in accordance with the certificate.
  3. (4) Any certificate or copy deposited under this section with any person shall be kept by him with the other documents to which it relates.—[Mr. Grimond.]

Brought up, read the First and Second time, and added to the Bill.
