Supreme Court of Canada rules that St. John's, N.L., property's zoning as a watershed area dictates expropriation compensation.
The Supreme Court of Canada determined that a St. John's, N.L., property's zoning as a watershed area should dictate compensation for expropriation. In a 7-0 ruling, the court stated that compensation should be assessed based on the land's limited uses, instead of considering a potential housing development. The court also clarified that an authority cannot reduce a property's value in anticipation of expropriation.
