Succeeding in Land and Property Rights Tribunal Hearings

At My Landman Group, we have a proven track record of successfully representing landowners in hearings before the Land and Property Rights Tribunal (LPRT). These hearings can be critical in ensuring landowners receive fair treatment, just compensation, and legal protection against unfair decisions. Our expertise spans multiple types of LPRT proceedings, including rent reviews, damage claims, and decision reconsiderations.

Experienced Representation for LPRT Hearings

Navigating a tribunal hearing requires a deep understanding of the Surface Rights Act, tribunal procedures, and how to effectively present a landowner's case. Without experienced representation, landowners risk receiving reduced compensation or facing unnecessary legal and financial burdens. Our team ensures landowners' interests are fully protected at every stage of the process.

Key Areas of Representation

We specialize in representing landowners in the following types of LPRT hearings:

• 5-Year Rent Reviews (Section 27 of the Surface Rights Act): Ensuring landowners receive fair compensation adjustments based on how the well site or transmission line impacts their farming operations or other use of their land.
• Damage Claims (Section 30 of the Surface Rights Act): Seeking appropriate compensation for land damage, loss of productivity, and environmental impacts caused by energy company operations.
• Reconsideration of Tribunal Decisions (Section 29 of the Surface Rights Act): Challenging and correcting improper or unfair tribunal decisions, such as unjustified reductions in rental arrears owed to landowners.

Maximizing Landowner Compensation

Our goal is to ensure landowners receive the compensation they rightfully deserve. We achieve this by:

• Gathering Strong Evidence: Conducting land assessments, gathering market data, and compiling financial records to support claims.
• Presenting a Compelling Case: Preparing detailed submissions and delivering persuasive arguments during tribunal proceedings.
• Negotiating Favourable Outcomes: Engaging in negotiations to secure the best possible terms before and during hearings.

Protecting Landowners from Unfair Practices

Energy companies and governing bodies sometimes make decisions that negatively impact landowners. We fight to prevent:

• Unfair Reductions in Compensation: Ensuring that rental payments and damage claims reflect actual losses and land values.
• Improper Tribunal Decisions: Challenging improper rulings that violate landowners' rights under Alberta law.
• Excessive Company Encroachment: Ensuring that land use agreements respect property boundaries and minimize disruption.
