Statute overview

About this statute

This law sets out the procedures for expropriation in the public interest. This article defines key terms used in the law, including public interest acts, long-term acts, fair compensation, expropriation in the public interest, person, applicant for expropriation, expropriator, and person to be expropriated. Only the Government may order expropriation in the public interest, and people may not obstruct expropriation-related work or public-interest underground/surface activity on their land. Projects that plan expropriation for public interest must budget for property valuation and fair compensation. This article lists activities treated as public-interest works and says the Minister in charge of lands may determine additional ones.
