Morgan v. Spallumcheen (Township of), 2022 BCSC 752 Awarded $360,000
Chris Hart acted as lead counsel for the Plaintiff, Brent Morgan, in a trial against the Township of Spallumcheen (“Spallumcheen”) for compensation arising from Spallumcheen’s without-notice tax sale of his property. Mr. Morgan claimed that he should be awarded damages equal to the fair market value of the property as of the date of trial, while Spallumcheen argued that Mr. Morgan should be awarded damages equal to the fair market value of the property as of the date of his property’s conveyance after the tax sale, where the difference in the contested figures was $190,000.00. The Supreme Court agreed with Mr. Morgan’s arguments, and awarded him approximately $360,000.00, which represented the fair market value of the property as of the date of trial.
