S17.1 Compulsory Purchase Order (CPO)

Powers of compulsory purchase have been granted by statute to such bodies as Government departments and local authorities.

A Compulsory Purchase Order is prepared by the acquiring authority and recorded in the Sasine Register. A CPO does not by itself transfer the property that it affects. It must be followed by a title in favour of the acquiring authority. The purpose of the recording is to warn any person searching the Register that the property is about to be acquired compulsorily.

The entering on the search sheet for a CPO is quite unusual in that the minute should be entered by reference only on the individual search sheets for each property and it should be carried out to its own new sheet. The GVD that usually follows will only go on the new sheet and often contains a composite description of the subjects.
