Views on Surface Rights in Alberta, Papers and materials from the Workshop

Abstract

This paper gathers together background materials and reports of small group sessions from a workshop on surface rights held in April 1988. The paper includes an introduction, with an overview of the discussions that took place and the points of consensus that were reached; revised versions of the four background papers that were presented at the workshop; reports from the small groups; and a list of participants. The background papers address principles for fixing compensation, decision-making by the Surface Rights Board of Alberta, judicial supervision of the Surface Rights Board of Alberta, and costs.
