Motion for party status by conservation authority in drainage appeal dismissed; added as participant instead.
The Upper Thames River Conservation Authority (UTRCA) brought a motion for party status in an appeal under the Drainage Act concerning drainage works on the appellant's lands.
The appellant opposed the motion.
The Tribunal found that UTRCA's intervention as a party was premature, consistent with a previous decision involving the same parties, because the engineer's report appealed from was not a report concerning the construction of drainage works.
The Tribunal dismissed the motion for party status but exercised its discretion to add UTRCA as a Participant with limited rights.
