Does a property owner have a pecuniary interest in a construction project?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Yorke et. al. v. Harris, 2020 ONSC 7361 (CanLII):
In Davidson v. Christopher, 2017 ONSC 4047, 68 M.P.L.R. (5th) 154, the respondent had a pecuniary interest in a property that would need to be acquired to permit a highway roundabout to be constructed. The respondent argued that his interest in the construction project was shared with electors generally. The court rejected this argument, noting that while there were approximately 145 other property owners in the vicinity of the construction project, they did not share the respondent’s pecuniary interest.
