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.
