Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 44, November 2, 2024

In order to assure that displaced persons actually receive the maximum amount of special damages for dislocation payable under Article VI-A of the act (26 P. S. §§ 1-601A-1-606A), the amount of the damages offered to a displaced person by an acquiring agency on its own initiative shall not be considered as damages paid to the displaced person for the purpose of determining the amount of a contingent attorney fee. This paragraph applies, not only to the original offer made by the acquiring agency to the displaced person, but to a subsequent increase in the offer initiated by the acquiring agency, whether made before or after the displaced person engaged the attorney's services; provided, however, that this paragraph will not apply to an original or increased offer or payment obtained as a direct result of the attorney's services on behalf of the displaced person.
