Is there an alternative road access by use of an all terrain vehicle?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Margettie v. Snell, 2009 CanLII 6625 (ON SC):
On a narrow reading of the Act, it is open to find that alternative road access along the hydro pole line by use of an all terrain vehicle is available to the applicants. As indicated in the Bogart v. Thompson case, supra, “ “no alternative access” consideration refers to the legal box around the parcel and not to physical inconveniences unless such physical impediments are insurmountable.”
