Home Dictionary Name: compulsorilyValuation
Valuation, is a process which does not end on marks being awarded by an examiner, Sanjay Singh v. U.P. Public Service Commission, (2007) 3 SCC 720.Means the act or process of valuing, Jensen v. Jensen, 458 NW 2d 391 (1990).This term is generally applied to the equivalent in money of any kind of property. Thus for the payment of estate duty, a valuation of property of all kinds has to be made. Perhaps the most important and the most difficult valuation is that of land. This has almost invariably to be undertaken whenever land is compulsorily acquired. The difficulties that surround this question were fully considered in the case of Re Lucas and Chesterfield Gas and Water Board, (1909) 1 KB 16, in which Lord Justice Moulton in the course of his judgment said (at p. 29):-'The principles upon which compensation is assessed when land is taken under compulsory powers are well-settled. The owner receives for the lands he gives up their equivalent-that is, that which they are worth to him in m...
Electric lighting
Electric lighting. The supply of electricity for light-ing is facilitated and regulated by the (English) Electric Lighting Act, 1882 (45 & 46 Vict. c. 56). Under this Act powers may be obtained either (1) by license from the Board of Trade; or (2) by Provisional Order of the Board of Trade, needing confirmation by special Act of Parliament; or (3) by special Act of Parliament.

These licenses and orders may either be granted to the local authorities themselves or, with their consent, to independent contractors. Licenses continue in force for any period not exceeding seven years, but are renewable. By s. 27 of the (English) 1882 Act an undertaking autho-rized by provisional order or special Act may be...
