Crown Lands Act 1866
1866-08-06 pdf` Legislation
Section 7: "From and immediately after the Thirty-first Day of December One thousand eight hundred and sixty-six all such Parts and Rights and Interests as then belong to Her Majesty in right of the Crown"
Section 25: "Nothing in this Act contained shall extend or increase or be construed to extend or increase the Powers or Authorities, Rights or Privileges, of the Crown over the Foreshore, or any Part thereof, but as between the Crown and all other Persons such Powers and Rights shall continue as the same existed before the passing of this Act".
We have to ask what the "Powers or Authorities, Rights or Privileges, of the Crown over the Foreshore, or any Part thereof" in Shetland before 1866?.
THIS DOCUMENT AND THE FIVE ABOVE IT DEFINE THE CROWN'S RIGHT IN SHETLAND. THEY DESERVE CAREFUL SCRUTINY.
