Hydro One Networks Inc. applied for orders to adjust the dates of possession in Notices of Possession under the Expropriations Act, to allow the application to proceed in the absence of a representative of the estate of James Thomas Witzell, and to dispense with service on the estate of Witzell and Susan Carol Boyes.
The application concerned the Waasigan Transmission Line Project, a 360 km electricity transmission line project in Northwestern Ontario.
Hydro One sought to abbreviate the notice period by 32 days to allow construction to begin on schedule.
The court granted the relief sought, finding that adjustment was in the public interest and that no prejudice to landowners was demonstrated.
