Expropriation Act (R.S.N.S. 1989, c. 156).
The purpose of the present Act is to ensure that every person whose land is expropriated shall be compensated. The Act contains at the outset a definition clause relating to various terms employed therein such as, for example, “appraisal report”, “Board”, “Court”, “expropriation authority”, “expropriation document”, “land”, “owner”, “registered owner”. Section 47 establishes that the Nova Scotia Utility and Review Board shall determine any compensation where the parties have not agreed on the amount of compensation.
