Securing Fair Compensation for Right of Entry Orders

When an energy company seeks to access your land for a well, pipeline, or transmission line, they may apply to the Land and Property Rights Tribunal (LPRT) for a Right of Entry Order. This process allows them to proceed with their project even if an agreement has not been reached with the landowner. At My Landman Group, we ensure landowners receive fair compensation through Compensation Order negotiations or the Hearing process, while also working to minimize disruption to their land and livelihood.

Protecting Landowner Interests in Right of Entry Cases

A Right of Entry Order grants an energy company access to private land, often without the landowner's consent. While this legal mechanism is designed to support energy development, it can leave landowners feeling powerless. Our team steps in to make sure landowners' voices are heard and their rights are upheld by advocating for fair treatment and proper conditions in the tribunal's decisions.

Maximizing Compensation for Landowners

When a Right of Entry Order is granted, compensation is owed to the landowner for the use and impact on their property. We ensure that landowners receive payments that reflect:

• The Value of the Land Taken: Compensation for the portion of land affected by the development.
• Disruptions to Land Use: Consideration for loss of access, crop damages, and reduced land value.
• Environmental and Operational Impacts: Addressing potential risks such as soil degradation, water contamination, and long-term site interference.
• Ongoing Payments: Ensuring rental fees and other financial obligations continue fairly over time.

Ensuring Proper Conditions and Land Protections

Beyond financial compensation, we work to establish strict conditions on the company's activities to minimize disruption and protect landowner interests. This includes:

• Limiting Land Use Scope: Ensuring the company's operations do not exceed what is necessary for their project.
• Mitigating Environmental Risks: Holding companies accountable for land restoration and environmental safeguards.
• Preventing Future Liabilities: Clarifying that the landowner is not responsible for spills, contamination, or structural failures.
• Enforcing Exit and Reclamation Agreements: Making sure the company restores the land when the project is complete.

Expert Representation in LPRT Hearings

If negotiations do not result in fair compensation, we provide skilled representation in hearings before the LPRT. Our experience ensures that landowners are well-prepared, their cases are presented effectively, and their rights are protected throughout the process.
