Decision: |
Arbitration award arising from a constructive expropriation of the Claimants' placer mining claims. The Crown had established a Provincial Park over the area occupied by the placer mining claims. The arbitrator proposed two alternative solutions. The first was for the Crown to permit the continued extraction of minerals until the placer mining is complete. The second was to award compensation in the amount of $1,000,000 for loss of the mining claims. |
