Feuduty/Abolition of Feudal Tenure

Hi all,
not sure if this is the right forum for the question, but it's the closest match I can find so here goes:
It's related to the Scottish Abolition of Feudal Tenure Act 2000.. the act states basically that the landowner/vassal feudal relationship and payment of feuduty has to be abolished on an appointed day which was set as 28th November 2004.
Within 2 years of the appointed day, landowners are allowed to claim compensation for the abolition of feudal tenure from the vassals and lo and behold we have just received our claim for compensation - and the ex-landowner is asking for £190 compensation.. :rolleyes:
My question (finally) is, does anyone know if this compensation claim can be contested (especially if a one-off payment of feuduty was made in 1977)? Also, does anyone know how the level of compensation is calculated, and who calculates it?
Much appreciation to anyone who can advise.. :T

I have no idea, but as I own a couple of Scottish properties, I'd apprieciate it if you let me know when you find the answer. i've not long ago bought them, and didnt know if I could be charged from before i owned them.Anything I write is based on my opinion only. Before acting upon any advice from anyone on a forum further professional advice should be sought.0
