  • Compulsory Acquisition Paper
    COMPULSORY ACQUISITION: THE ASSESSMENT OF COMPENSATION UNDER THE ACQUISITION OF LAND ACT 1967 (Qld) Presented by: Grant Allan Barrister-at-Law Level 20 Inns of Court 107 North Quay Brisbane Qld 4000 March 2013 “The property of subjects is under the eminent domain of the State, so that the State, or he who acts for it, may use and even alienate and destroy such property, not only in cases of extreme necessity, in which even private persons have a right over the property of others, but for ends of public utility, to which ends those who founded our society must be supposed to have intended that private ends should give way. But it is to be observed that when this is done, the State is bound to make good the loss to those who lose their property, and to this public purpose, he who has suffered the loss must if needs be contribute.” Hugo Grotius, De Jure Belli et Pacis, 1624 “So great moreover is the regard of the law for private property, that it will not authorize the least violation of it; no, not even for the general good of the whole community. If a new road, for instance, were to be made through the grounds of a private person, it might perhaps be extensively beneficial to the public; but the law permits no man, or set of men, to do this without consent of the owner of the land. In vain may it be urged, that the good of the individual ought to yield to that of the community; for it would be dangerous to allow any private man, or even any public tribunal, to be the judge of the common good, and to decide whether it be expedient, or no.
