Is there any distinction between damages for the taking of a Crown grant mineral claim which is a chattel and damages for taking a Crown Grant mineral claim that is a interest in land?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Morriss v. HMTQ, 2006 BCSC 1319 (CanLII):
The plaintiff says that any distinction between the damages for the taking of a mineral claim which is a chattel and damages for the taking of a Crown grant mineral claim, which is an interest in land, is technical. It refers to Premanco v. Ministry of the Environment (2000), 71 L.C.R. at 94 (BC Exp.), which dealt with the de facto expropriation of a Crown grant mineral claim in which compound interest was payable.
