| Decision: |
Appeal by the Suppliant, Jalbert, and the Intervenor, Province of Quebec, from a decision of the Exchequer Court dismissing an action for damages. The claim for damages arose from a dispute over ownership of a beach lot at Chicoutimi which Canada had entered and taken possession of to construct a public wharf and other public works. It was held that the subject property was not part of a public harbour at the moment of Confederation and therefore Canada did not have title. The appeal was allowed. |
