	Objections to Nanoose Expropriation, by David Krieger, August 1999
		I wish to object to the expropriation of the seabed in Nanoose Bay for three reasons related to the purpose of the expropriation, which is to allow the United States the possibility to bring nuclear weapons carrying submarines into the waters above the expropriated land.
		In doing so, they will also expropriate from the citizens of this province the right to act upon their morals in their own community on this issue of such great importance to the future of life on Earth.
		By seeking to expropriate the Nanoose seabed, the Canadian government is crushing not only the dreams of the people here for a nuclear weapons free world, but also the dreams of the great majority of ordinary American citizens who would prefer to live in and leave to their children a world free of nuclear weapons.

		Expropriation law became a significant part of the practice of Borden Ladner Gervais (Toronto) during the 1970's in the wake of the expropriations to facilitate the planned international airport in Pickering, Ontario.
		Although the airport was never built the expropriations proceeded and generated a wealth of litigation, which tested many of the provisions of the comparatively new expropriation legislation, which had been passed in Ontario in the 1960's.

	BCCLA Position Paper: Submission on the Municipal Act expropriation provisions, 1982
		This should be replaced by one general expropriation statute applicable to all expropriations under the jurisdiction of the province.
		The general expropriation statute should contain adequate provisions concerning appropriation procedure and compensation, and it should expressly provide that it will prevail in the event of a conflict between one of its provisions and a provision of any other statute, whether general or special.
		The Act should permit any person to object to an expropriation provided he or she serves an objection in writing with a name and address, and that indicates the nature of any objections, the grounds on which the objections are based and the nature of his or her interest in the potential expropriation.

	BLG - Practice Areas - Expropriation - Process
		Because powers of expropriation constitute a significant infringement of individual property rights, authorities must publish and serve notice of their intention to expropriate land.
		An owner who receives notice of an intended expropriation may apply for a hearing to determine whether his or her land is required to achieve the public purpose.
		Generally, an expropriating authority cannot take possession of expropriated land before 90 days after the land is expropriated and notice that possession is required has been given to the owner.

	Compensation for Regulatory Expropriation Under NAFTA: Mexico and the Metalclad Case - International Environmental Law ...
		While the language regarding direct expropriation is straightforward and characterizes the most common cases of expropriation, the language of the article that covers indirect expropriation and measures tantamount to expropriation may have created problems for the NAFTA governments by allowing for compensation for expropriation stemming from a governments’ regulatory efforts.
		NAFTA does not define what is considered an indirect expropriation or a measure tantamount to expropriation, and, at least for the moment, has left such determination with the arbitration panels that may be instituted to hear Chapter 11 complaints.
		The disparity of treatment between Mexican and foreign investors with regard to regulatory expropriation, given the difference between Mexican law and the NAFTA provisions, although not widely-discussed among Mexico’s legal community, may result in Mexico moving toward accepting the concept of regulatory expropriation as actionable expropriation in a court of law.
