| Decision: |
Application by the Claimants to the British Columbia Expropriation Compensation Board for an interim order of costs pursuant to s. 47 of the Expropriation Act, S.B.C. 1987, c. 23. The costs at issue on this application related to a $7,500.00 retainer fee required by the Claimant's land resource consultants as a condition of providing professional services to support a compensation claim arising from an expropriation. The Claimants had not yet paid the fee to their consultants and no services had been provided. It was held that the Claimants had not yet incurred the expense and the Authority was not required to pay the cost claim. |
