RIGHT TO OCCUPY AFTER A COMPULSORY TAKING

If the claimant is allowed to remain in occupation after the resumption of the land then the goodwill paid if any, should be deferred for that period. If the owner is allowed to stay on the land with limited tenure (in Bennett's case 7-10 years) until required by the authority this will substantially reduce the amount of compensation payable under loss of goodwill and disturbance compared with not being able to obtain suitable premises at all - Bennett's case.
