Judicial review of National Capital Commission's calculation of payments in lieu of taxes dismissed.
The Municipality of Chelsea applied for judicial review of a decision by the National Capital Commission regarding payments in lieu of taxes for federal properties in Gatineau Park.
The municipality argued the Commission created a legitimate expectation it would follow an advisory panel's recommendation and that the Commission's calculation of property values was unreasonable.
The Federal Court dismissed the application, finding no breach of procedural fairness and concluding the Commission's decision was reasonable, transparent, and defensible in fact and law.
