T-8 - Colonization Land Sales Act

Section 28 Disposition versions

1977-12-31

28. No lot sold or otherwise granted for colonization purposes after the 15th of March, 1933, may, before the issuing of the letters patent, be sold by the holder of the location ticket or otherwise alienated or transmitted, in whole or in part, except by donation in a marriage contract or by will in favour of a relative within the heritable degree, or by abintestate succession, or by will in favour of a consort, and, in such case, the donee, the legatee or the heir shall be subject to the same prohibition as the original holder.

The Minister may, nevertheless, allow or approve any transfer or alienation before the issuing of the letters patent, upon proof, to his satisfaction, that such transfer or alienation is in the interests of colonization. The new holder shall be subject to the same prohibition as the original holder.

Every transfer made in contravention of this section shall be null ab initio as between the parties, and shall entail the cancellation of the sale or grant of the lot.
