Our Strategy: Unveiling the Injustice of the Conservation Act
A Call to Action for Affected Property Owners
Are you one of the many property owners who might have lost property value and equity due to restrictions imposed by the Conservation Authorities Act? If so, you are not alone. Our goal is to shed light on this injustice and build a network of property owners ready to fight for their rights and seek compensation for their losses.
The Hidden Impact on Property Values
Through consultations with independent mathematicians and a thorough review of properties affected by conservation/wetland infringements, we’ve uncovered troubling information. Given the soaring real estate prices and the lack of transparency from local planners, we estimate that individual landowners might have lost at least $100,000 per property on resale alone. The resale loss doesn't account for additional losses related to restrictions in building on their property or severing lots.
The Fight for Our Rights
As taxpayers and property owners, we believe we should have greater control over our land usage or receive fair compensation if restrictions are placed upon it. If your property has been affected sign up to receive updates. Remember, any restriction on a property generally decreases its value.
Exposing the Negligence
We aim to understand and reveal how planners and officials failed to inform landowners about crucial information that led to these significant financial losses. The negligence and implications of the Conservation Authorities Act on property owners could lead to a class-action lawsuit, potentially amounting to millions of dollars.
We need to identify the officials and processes responsible for this lack of transparency and communication to property owners. Landowners have rights to be notified about restrictions placed on the usage of their private property, however, there was no formal communication regarding the implications of the Conservation Authorities Act. Our stance is that they had a duty to notify landowners of these restrictions, but many, like our family, were left in the dark. Were you properly informed?
Demanding Accountability
Local elected government officials are intended to represent the interests of their constituents. However, we found that when we attempted to build on our property, we encountered complete roadblocks with our local government. As we learned more about the restrictions on our property, rendering our dreams to have a large family property unattainable, we endeavoured to understand how this happened.
We are committed to uncovering why the impact of the Conservation Authorities Act on property owners was not properly disclosed to the community and landowners. The lack of government transparency requires a thorough review of the reports and individuals responsible for considering how landowners would be impacted. This process is both time consuming and fraught with legal challenges. Our hope is that through a united community of affected property owners, we will be able to pursue a class action lawsuit.
Seeking Justice
We are committed to uncovering and understanding why property owners have lost rights to using their own land. If you own property and suspect you may be impacted by the Conservation Authorities Act, join our network. At this time, a case can be made under the Canadian Bill of Rights, common and tort law, that government authorities have an obligation to notify property owners of any losses in the values of their properties. This is a case of negligence causing significant financial damages.
Points to Prove in a Negligence Case
In a negligence case, we must prove:
Duty of Care:Â Defendants (government officials) owed a duty of care to property owners.
Breach of Duty:Â Defendants (governement officials) breached this duty by not meeting the reasonable person standard (this means that the government officials should have known the impact on property owners).
Injury:Â The breach caused significant financial loss or "excessive loss of equity."
Foreseeable Losses:Â The losses were foreseeable, and defendants ignored them.
Claim for Damages:Â The financial losses, exceeding $100,000, are realistic and under tort law constitute damages.
Together, we can fight for justice and reclaim control over our properties. Sign up today and join us in this critical effort.
