Learning from the American Way - 2016 - Estates Gazette (1607) 20 February 2016, 66-68(3) .

Compares UK and USA compulsory purchase regimes. Discusses two reports issued ten years ago by the Law Commission which recommended change but they were shelved by the government. Argues that compared to compulsory purchase legislation in the USA the UK does not provide the appropriate balance between those assembling land and those being dispossessed.
