74. Where the value of the indemnity claimed or offered is $750,000 or more, the divested party must prepare an expenditure budget detailing the various expenditure items as well as the amount that the divested party intends to incur for each item and plans to claim from the expropriating party as part of the final indemnity. The expenditure budget must be sufficiently detailed so as to allow the expropriating party to analyze what is proposed in it.
The divested party must notify the expenditure budget to the expropriating party. Within 30 days after the notification, the expropriating party must notify the divested party of whether it agrees with the budget or not. If the expropriating party does not agree with it, the parties must attempt to resolve the issue. If the disagreement persists between the parties, they must, before the expenses are incurred, apply to the Administrative Tribunal of Québec for a ruling on the disagreement.
