Decision Date: June 30, 2005

Panel: Alan Andison

Keywords: Forest Act – s. 105; stumpage determination; consent order

Dan Hamblin appealed several stumpage rate determinations issued by the Ministry of Forests.  By consent of the parties, the Commission ordered that the stumpage determinations be rescinded, and the matters appealed be referred back to the Appraisal Co-ordinator, with directions to calculate the stumpage rates on the basis that the rates be reappraised on their anniversary dates occurring on November 1, 2003 or later, and that those rates fixed before a reappraisal continue to be fixed after reappraisal.
