Expropriation Act (Canada) | Land Title Practice Manual

Section 5 of the Expropriation Act (Canada) allows the minister to request that the Attorney General of Canada register a notice of intention to expropriate the interest or right for any interest in land required by the Crown for a public work or other public purpose. The notice is as described in s. 5 and signed by the minister.
Section 6 allows for an amendment to a notice or plan registered under s. 5 where it contains any omission, misstatement or erroneous description. In these cases, a corrected notice or plan may be registered and will be deemed to relate back to the day the original notice or plan was registered.
Section 12 allows for application to abandon the notice registered in the land title office.
Section 14 provides for the Attorney General of Canada to make an application to register a notice of confirmation in the land title office where the notice of intention was registered. If the land to which the notice of confirmation relates is more limited in area than the land described in the notice of intention, the notice of confirmation must be accompanied by a revised plan of the land to which it relates.
Each application may be accompanied by a plan defining the area described in the notice or other supporting document.
