Notice of expropriation to owners as well as offers of compensation must be made. If owners do not claim specific amounts of compensation, the Minister will make an offer for compensation (sects. 9-11). The criteria for determining compensation are contained in section 12. Compensation shall be determined by the Supreme Court or by arbitration in case of non-agreement between owners and expropriators (sect. 14). The Minister may withdraw an expropriation if it is in the "public interest or otherwise expedient" to do so (sect. 23). Texte intégral Anglais
