APPEAL HEARD:                                                                                         September 16, 1998

 

 

JUDGMENT DELIVERED:                                                                   October 28, 1998

 

 

SUBJECT:                                   Expropriation Act RSNS 1989, c. 156 - Notice Requirements pursuant to S. 31(1)

 

SUMMARY:                            The Municipality appeals from a decision of the N. S. Utility and Review Board determining that the claimant's claim for compensation for injurious affection fulfilled the requirements of s. 31(1) of the Expropriation Act.

 

RESULT:                                      Appeal dismissed with costs of $1,500. Section 31(1) does not stipulate that a claim for compensation is to be made in any particular form or manner, but only that it be made in writing with particulars. The claim filed by the respondents fulfills the provisions of the Act.
