EXPROPRIATION

In normal circumstances, the state retains the right to purchase needed property regardless

of the intentions of the property owner. This right is also known as “eminent domain.” The

only limit on the government’s power is that it must pay a fair price for the expropriated

property and this is normally the litigated issue in cases of expropriation. There is a federal

Expropriation Act and numerous provincial counterparts. Related topics: MUNICIPAL LAW,

REAL PROPERTY.

EXPROPRIATION

Le droit de l’expropriation réunit côte à côte l’intervention de l’État (ADMINISTRATIF (DROIT))

et un particulier avec ses BIENS ET PROPRIÉTÉ. Les opérations d’expropriation se situent sou-

vent dans une perspective d’aménagement et urbanisme.
