A claim for compensation shall be entertained only if the claimant gives to the Roads Authority, not later than ninety days after the declared day, in such form and manner as may be prescribed, notice of intent to make the claim: Provided that where the notice is given later than the time allowed, the Roads Authority, if satisfied that the delay was occasioned by illness, absence from the Islands or other good cause, may, in its absolute discretion, accept the notice at any time thereafter.
A claim for compensation may, in such form and manner as may be prescribed, be served on the Roads Authority at any time after the giving of the notice of intent but not later than one year after the proposed road is scheduled as a public road under section 5(1) and shall contain the following particulars —
the land in respect of which the claim is made;
the claimant's interest, the date on which and the manner in which it was acquired;
the claimant's occupation of the land;
the declaration in the Gazette under section 3 in relation to the land, any entry on the land and works undertaken thereon under section 6 or any other action taken under this Law in relation to that land;
the amount of compensation claimed;
any land contiguous or adjacent to the land in respect of which the claim is made, being land to which the claimant was entitled in the same capacity on the relevant date; and
such other particulars as may be prescribed.
The Roads Authority may, in its absolute discretion, accept a claim made after the expiration of the claim period specified in subsection (2) if it is satisfied that the delay in submitting the claim is due to illness, absence from the Islands or some other good cause: Provided that such claim shall not be accepted if made after such time as may be prescribed.
