1 Terasen Gas Inc. (respondent/plaintiff) v. Utzig Holdings (B.C.) Ltd. (appellant/defendant) and Alpha Manufacturing Inc., Burns Development Ltd., Burns Developments (1993) Ltd. (defendants) (CA037878, CA038453; 2012 BCCA 444) Indexed As: Terasen Gas Inc. v. Utzig Holdings (B.C.) Ltd. British Columbia Court of Appeal Newbury, Frankel and Garson, JJ.A. November 7, Summary: Utzig Holdings (B.C.) Ltd. owned a portion of a large peat bog (Burns Bog). Terasen (formerly BC Gas), a supplier and distributor of natural gas had statutory rights of way (Land Title Act) over the bog for a natural gas pipeline, pursuant to 1961 and 1981 rights of way agreements granted by Utzig's predecessor. In 1988, Utzig agreed to permit a neighbouring landowner, Alpha Manufacturing Inc. (AMI), to conduct a landfill operation on its property. In October 10, 1993, Utzig agreed to sell the property to AMI et al. (purchasers) under an agreement for sale (AFS) and the purchasers took possession. The AFS made no reference to the rights of way agreements. The AFS was in registrable form, but never registered. Further, the AFS was never completed because the purchaser failed to pay the entire purchase price when due. Accordingly, the property remained registered in the name of Utzig at all material times. In 1995, Terasen commenced an action against Utzig, claiming that the pipeline was damaged or put at risk by the landfill operations and that Utzig breached covenants in the pipeline rights of way agreements or permitted the creation of an actionable nuisance. The British Columbia Supreme Court, in a decision reported [2012] B.C.T.C. Uned. 90, ruled that Utzig had breached the covenants in the statutory right of way agreements both before and after entering into the AFS in October In the alternative, the court held that Utzig had committed the tort of nuisance, but only in the period prior to the execution of the AFS. Utzig appealed, arguing that the trial judge erred: (a) in finding that Utzig was bound by the covenants in the statutory rights of way after October 10, 1993 when the AFS was entered into; (b) in finding that Utzig, if bound by the covenants, breached the covenants both in the pre- and post- AFS periods; and (c) in holding that Utzig was liable for a nuisance created on the lands prior to October 10, The British Columbia Court of Appeal court held that Utzig was bound by the covenants in the statutory rights of way agreements even after the AFS was entered into. However, the court allowed the appeal to the extent of restricting Utzig's breach of the covenants to the period prior to October 10, The court also allowed the appeal respecting the alternate claim in nuisance and dismissed that claim in its entirety. Garson, J.A., dissenting in part, agreed that Utzig was bound by the covenants, but differed with the majority on whether Utzig breached the covenants. Real Property - Topic 65 General principles - Definitions - Owner defined - Utzig owned property subject to

2 statutory rights of way agreements (Land Title Act (LTA)) respecting natural gas pipelines owned by Terasen - Utzig allowed a neighbouring property owner (AMI) to use its property as a landfill - Thereafter, Utzig executed an agreement for sale (AFS) in favour of AMI et al. (purchasers), which made no reference to the rights of way agreements (October 10, 1993) - The purchasers took possession - The AFS was never registered or completed - Utzig remained the registered owner - In 1995, Terasen sued Utzig, alleging breaches of the covenants in the rights of way agreements - At issue was whether Utzig was bound by the covenants after executing the AFS - The British Columbia Court of Appeal held that because of the wording of the rights of way, the only way in which Utzig might cease to be bound was to show that it "ceased to be the owner of the land" (LTA, s. 218) - Under the LTA "owner" meant registered owner - Regardless of whether AMI acquired an equitable or proprietary interest, or even "'ownership", Utzig would remain the legal, and registered, owner in the eyes of equity until title passed - Thus, Utzig never ceased to be a registered owner and remained bound by the statutory rights of way even after entering the AFS - See paragraphs 22 to 38.
