Appeal dismissed for lack of standing as the appellant was not an assessed landowner.
The appellants appealed under the Drainage Act regarding the Hostine Drain East Branch.
The Tribunal considered whether one of the appellants had standing to appeal under section 54 of the Act.
The Tribunal found that standing under section 54 requires the appellant to have been a party to the appeal before the court of revision.
Because the appellant was not an owner of land assessed for the drainage works, she could not have been a party before the court of revision.
Consequently, her appeal was dismissed for lack of standing.
