Decision: |
Appeal by the District of Surrey from an order whereby the Respondent was granted an injunction restraining the District from resuming land for road purposes. The District had adopted a by-law pursuant to the Municipal Act, S.B.C. 1914, c. 52, that purported to authorize resumption of a portion of the Respondent's land. However, it was held that the Act did not permit a municipal government to resume land in use as a garden. The portion of the Respondent's property in question was in use as a garden and the exemption applied. The appeal was dismissed. |
