The Ontario Land Tribunal held a Case Management Conference regarding a land compensation claim under the Expropriations Act.

The Tribunal issued a procedural order on consent, setting the hearing date for June 12, 2023, and establishing deadlines for document exchange, discoveries, and expert reports.

At a Case Management Conference regarding a land compensation dispute under the Expropriations Act, the respondent municipality sought an order compelling the claimant to serve a Statement of Claim.

The claimant argued the request was premature pending a development application.

The Tribunal found that under Rule 26.9, once a Notice of Arbitration is served, the claimant must serve a Statement of Claim.

The Tribunal ordered the claimant to serve its Statement of Claim by a specified date to prevent further delay and prejudice regarding interest payments.
