14.-(1) In the event of any portion of the land over which a pier is erected being required for any purpose which the Governor-in-Council decides to be a public purpose, it shall be lawful for the Governor-in-Council to cancel the licence for or lease of such pier and to order that such pier shall be either partially or entirely removed by the owner thereof and at his expense.
(2) The Director of Public Works shall alone be entitled to order, in the event of a partial removal of such pier, what portions of it are to be so removed, and any such removal, whether partial or total, shall be effected by the owner within such period as may be ordered by the Director of Public Works in a notice in writing served on the owner.
(3) The cost of such removal or partial removal of such pier shall be defrayed exclusively by the owner thereof, and no compensation will be paid by the Government for, and no action, suit, or other legal proceeding shall lie against the Government in respect of, any description of loss or damage, whether direct or indirect, which the owner of such pier may sustain by reason of such removal or partial removal.
(4) The Governor-in-Council shall, however, consider on its merits, and on such evidence as the Governor-in-Council may think fit, any moral claim to compensation which may be brought forward by the owner of such pier in respect of the removal or partial removal thereof, and if the Governor-in-Council considers that compensation in respect thereof ought to be paid to such owner then compensation shall be paid to such owner accordingly: Provided, nevertheless, that nothing in this section shall affect the rights of the Government with regard to any pier already erected or hereafter to be erected for a temporary purpose only.
