    Summary

    Decision Date: July 26, 1991

    Panel: Linda Michaluk, Heather Michel, Roald Skov

    The appeal concerned the provision of water for private use and the contention of the Appellant that there was insufficient water to satisfy the new and existing licences. Because the intake for the new licence was downstream of the intakes for the existing licences and because of the principal of “first in time, first in right”, the Board found the existing licensees would not be affected by the new licence. The appeal was dismissed.
