LAND ADMINISTRATION ACT 1997 - SECT 187

187 .         Interest in land not required for public work may have designation changed or cancelled

        (1)         Subject to this section, if an interest in land has been designated for a public work, and the Minister is satisfied that the interest is not required for the public work, or is not exclusively required for the public work, the Minister may by order —

            (a)         designate the interest, or a part of it, for another public work; or

            (b)         cancel the designation.

        (2)         The Minister must not proceed under this section in relation to land to which section 189 or 190 applies unless those sections have been complied with and all persons entitled to exercise an option to purchase under those sections have declined to do so.

        (3)         If a designation of an interest in land is cancelled in good faith under this section —

            (a)         neither the cancellation nor any subsequent transaction affecting the interest is invalidated by a failure to comply with section 189 or 190; and

            (b)         no person has any right of action or claim against the Crown, the Minister, or an acquiring authority in relation to the cancellation or disposal.
