67: Benefit obtained by claimant to be taken into account

You could also call this:

"Consider any benefits you already have when working out compensation"

Illustration for Land Transfer Act 2017

When you are working out how much compensation you should get, the court or the Attorney-General or Registrar might think it is fair to consider any benefits you have already received. They will only do this if they think it is just in all the circumstances. You will need to take the value of these benefits into account when determining the amount of compensation you will get.
