Decision: |
Appeal by several owners from a compensation award made by the Expropriation Compensation Board pursuant to the Expropriation Act, R.S.B.C. 1996, c. 125. The award resulted from a partial taking for road widening purposes from several residential properties. The Appellants alleged that the Board had erred in its calculation of injurious affection by relying on a post-taking sale of one of the subject properties. It was alleged that the effect of relying on this sale was to set-off general benefits against injurious affection. The Court agreed and held that general benefits cannot be set-off against injurious affection. |
