What remedies are available under the Partition Act?

Nova Scotia, Canada


The following excerpt is from Peters v. Reginato, 2016 NSSC 345 (CanLII):

Two remedies are available under the Partition Act. I can either appoint commissioners to have the property partitioned, or I can order that the property be sold. If I decide that the property must be sold, I then have to determine how the sale should proceed. There are two options. I can order a sale through a process similar to a foreclosure sale, or I can order that the property be sold through a listing agent: Roach v. McNeil, supra at para 63.
