Decision: Appeal by Canadian Pacific Railway from a successful appeal by the Respondent City of Vancouver of a trial court decision holding that an Official Development Plan bylaw of the City of Vancouver was ultra vires. The bylaw in question purported to restrict use of the Appellant's land. The subject property was a former rail corridor located in the City of Vancouver. The Appellant alleged that enactment of the bylaw by the Respondent amounted to constructive expropriation. However, it was held that the Vancouver Charter, S.B.C. 1953, c. 55, expressly permitted the Respondent to enact the bylaw without liability for constructive expropriation. The appeal was dismissed with costs.
