Compulsory Purchase and Compensation

We are pleased to invite you to a Compulsory Purchase Association Future webinar, focusing on an area of particular interest for those working with compulsory purchase: how the case is made for the use of compulsory purchase powers, whether by CPO, DCO or other means. Our panel of speakers will provide insight from the perspectives of an acquiring authority, solicitor and barrister and the event will be structured with a short presentation from each panel member with questions and discussion to follow.

The Compulsory Purchase Association's National Conference seeks to brief all who work with compulsory purchase and compensation. It covers a diverse range of issues, with different sessions focusing on law, practice and market activity. Large numbers attend from the CPA membership, non-members and CPO professionals. It is the premier networking event in the CPO calendar with a pre-eminent programme and set of speakers. If you do CPO work, this is a must attend event for technical knowledge, updates and networking.

The theme for this conference is the effective use of compulsory purchase to assist in the delivery of public infrastructure projects. The provision of such projects has been with us for over 150 years now and the need to deliver the infrastructure that a modern Scotland requires and indeed demands, has never been greater. The successful and timely delivery of public infrastructure projects are needed to help secure that our economy can fully and quickly recover from the severe adverse effects of the Covid pandemic, as well as ensuring that citizens throughout Scotland are able to enjoy these social and community benefits.
