| Decision: |
Application by the Claimant, pursuant to the Expropriation Act, R.S.B.C. 1996, c. 125, s. 19, for damages arising from the abandonment of an expropriation. The Authority had commenced an expropriation pursuant to the Water Act, R.S.B.C. 1979, c. 429, in November 1995. The expropriation proceedings were discontinued in February 2002. The Authority applied to the Board for a determination of whether it had jurisdiction to hear the Claimant's application. The Board held that in this case it did not have jurisdiction to make an award pursuant to s. 19(4) of the Expropriation Act nor did it have jurisdiction to make an award of costs. |
