E-25 - Act respecting expropriation
Section 41
Disposition versions
41. Despite the transfer of the expropriated right, the expropriating party may not take possession of the leased or occupied premises before paying the initial provisional indemnity to the lessee or to the occupant in good faith who leases or occupies the premises, or before depositing that indemnity on their behalf in the office of the Superior Court. However, the expropriating party may take possession of the premises if the expropriating party has notified a notice to the lessee or to the occupant in good faith indicating that they are not entitled to any amount as an initial provisional indemnity.
The first paragraph does not apply if the expropriating party has not been informed, in accordance with the first paragraph of section 12, that the premises are leased or occupied and, where leased, the lease is not registered in the land register.
