Extinguishment of superseded rights of way.

35.—(1) Whenever the Land Commission, under any provision of the Land Purchase Acts, confers, defines, extends, or improves a right of way or a right of access, it shall be lawful for the Lay Commissioners to extinguish by order any other right of way or right of access which has in their opinion become unnecessary in consequence of the said conferring, defining, extension, or improvement (as the case may be) of such first-mentioned right of way, and to fix the compensation (if any) to be paid on account of such extinguishment of the said other right of way or right of access.

(2) Whenever the Lay Commissioners make an order under this section extinguishing a right of way, such right of way shall for all purposes be extinguished as from the date of such order and shall not be exercisable after that date.

(3) Every order of the Lay Commissioners under this section extinguishing a right of way shall be final and unappealable.
