Dyma’r fersiwn wreiddiol (fel y’i gwnaed yn wreiddiol).

(a)doing something which it prohibits, or
(b)permitting or suffering another person to do such a thing.
(2)A person bound by a positive obligation under a conservation covenant breaches the obligation if it is not performed.
(1)In proceedings for the enforcement of an obligation under a conservation covenant, the available remedies are—
(a)specific performance,
(b)injunction,
(c)damages, and
(d)order for payment of an amount due under the obligation.
(2)On an application for a remedy under subsection (1)(a) or (b), a court must, in considering what remedy is appropriate, take into account any public interest in the performance of the obligation concerned.
(3)Subject to subsection (4), contract principles apply to damages for breach of an obligation under a conservation covenant.
(4)In the case of breach of an obligation of the landowner under a conservation covenant, a court may award exemplary damages in such circumstances as it thinks fit.
(5)For the purposes of the Limitation Act 1980, an action founded on an obligation under a conservation covenant is to be treated as founded on simple contract.
(1)In proceedings for breach of an obligation under a conservation covenant it is a defence to show—
(a)that the breach occurred as a result of a matter beyond the defendant’s control,
(b)that the breach occurred as a result of doing, or not doing, something in an emergency in circumstances where it was necessary for that to be done, or not done, in order to prevent loss of life or injury to any person, or
(c)that at the time of the breach—
(i)the land to which the obligation relates was, or was within an area, designated for a public purpose, and
(ii)compliance with the obligation would have involved a breach of any statutory control applying as a result of the designation.
(2)If the only reason for the application of subsection (1)(c) was failure to obtain authorisation, the defendant must also show that all reasonable steps to obtain authorisation had been taken.
(3)The defence under subsection (1)(c) does not apply if the designation was in force when the conservation covenant was created.
(4)The defence of statutory authority (which applies in relation to the infringement of rights such as easements by a person acting under statutory authority) applies in relation to breach of an obligation under a conservation covenant.
(5)In this section—
“authorisation” means any approval, confirmation, consent, licence, permission or other authorisation (however described), whether special or general;
“statutory control” means control imposed by provision contained in, or having effect under, an Act.

Y Diweddaraf sydd Ar Gael (diwygiedig):Y fersiwn ddiweddaraf sydd ar gael o’r ddeddfwriaeth yn cynnwys newidiadau a wnaed gan ddeddfwriaeth ddilynol ac wedi eu gweithredu gan ein tîm golygyddol. Gellir gweld y newidiadau nad ydym wedi eu gweithredu i’r testun eto yn yr ardal ‘Newidiadau i Ddeddfwriaeth’.
Gwreiddiol (Fel y’i Deddfwyd neu y’i Gwnaed): Mae'r wreiddiol fersiwn y ddeddfwriaeth fel ag yr oedd pan gafodd ei deddfu neu eu gwneud. Ni wnaed unrhyw newidiadau i’r testun.
Testun a grëwyd gan yr adran o’r llywodraeth oedd yn gyfrifol am destun y Ddeddf i esbonio beth mae’r Ddeddf yn ceisio ei wneud ac i wneud y Ddeddf yn hygyrch i ddarllenwyr nad oes ganddynt gymhwyster cyfreithiol. Cyflwynwyd Nodiadau Esboniadol ym 1999 ac maent yn cyd-fynd â phob Deddf Gyhoeddus ac eithrio Deddfau Adfeddiannu, Cronfa Gyfunol, Cyllid a Chyfnerthiad.
