Sections 4, 6, 43.
1The conveyance of any coal or mine of coal to be assumed for the purposes of section four of this Act shall be a conveyance, to which all persons having any interest other than a retained interest in that coal or mine are conveying parties, to a purchaser for money or money’s worth with notice of all matters whereof notice is material, containing, in the cases mentioned in paragraph 2 of this Schedule provisions to the effect therein mentioned, but subject as aforesaid not containing any such term or provision as might have limited the application of section sixty-two or sixty-three of the M1Law of Property Act 1925, to the conveyance.

2(1)In a case in which any of the conveying parties has, besides the interest in respect of which he is a conveying party, a retained interest in the coal or mine, he shall be deemed not to be a conveying party in respect of his retained interest.
(2)In a case in which any of the the conveying parties has an interest in land that would be adversely affected by a surface servitude that the conveyance might include, or might operate to grant, for any interest, by virtue either—
(a)of section sixty-two of the M2Law of Property Act 1925; or
(b)of any rule of law relating to the grant of servitudes as servitudes of necessity;
the conveyance shall not operate further or otherwise, as regards the inclusion or the grant of that servitude or the interest (if any) for which it is to be included, than it would have operated if none of the conveying parties had had any interest in that land.
(3)In a case in which any of the conveying parties has an interest in land to which a servitude that adversely affects the coal or mine is annexed, or with which the benefit of a restrictive covenant that adversely affects the coal or mine runs, the conveyance shall reserve that servitude for the greatest interest for which it could be reserved by that party, or shall reserve any right to enforce that covenant which would have subsisted in right of that party’s interest in land with which the benefit of that covenant runs if he had not been a conveying party, as the case may be.
(4)In a case in which any of the conveying parties might, after the conveyance, be subject to any personal liability in respect of a restrictive covenant that adversely affects the coal or mine, the conveyance shall be deemed to contain a covenant entered into by the Commission with that party with the object and intent of affording to him and his successors in title a full and sufficient indemnity, but not further or otherwise, that the Commission will at all times after the vesting date duly perform and observe that restrictive covenant in relation to the coal or mine and will at all times keep that party and his successors in title effectually indemnified against all actions, proceedings, costs, charges, claims, and demands whatsoever in respect of that restrictive covenant.
