Copyhold Act, 1887

Commissioners to publish a scale of compensation.

30. The Land Commissioners shall frame and cause to be printed and published such a scale of compensation for the enfranchisement of land from the manorial and other rights and incidents specified or referred to in the Copyhold Acts, including heriots, as in their judgment will be fair and just and will facilitate enfranchisement, and such scale shall contain all such directions for the guidance of lord, tenant, and valuers as the Commissioners may deem necessary. The said Commissioners shall also print and publish a scale of allowance to valuers for services to be performed in the execution of the Copyhold Acts. The Commissioners may from time to time vary any such scales, which are to be for guidance only, and not to be binding as a matter of law in any particular case, but the party requiring enfranchisement shall state to the other party whether or no he is willing to adopt the scale.
