2. Sub-sections (2) and (3) are new and give the Governor in Council power to award compensation in cases of special damage and loss of value concerning which no provision was made in the principal Ordinance.
3. Sub-section (4) recasts the second proviso to section 3 of the principal Ordinance, by substituting the words rights of sea access, if any, specifically granted to the holder of any lot, abutting directly on the sea or on any tidal river or channel connected therewith, by any Crown lease" for the words "special rights of sea access, if any, of any holder of any lot, holding under a Crown lease ".
4. Section 3 of this Ordinance similarly recasts the proviso to section 5 of the principal Ordinance which though worded slightly differently to the second proviso to section 3 of the principal Ordinance appears to have been intended to have the same effect.
