(a) The total sum of TWENTY-FOUR THOUSAND EIGHT HUNDRED FIFTY and 00/100 DOLLARS ($24,850.00), less any payment made, payable to The Estate of Cheryl Lea Driedger; and
(b) Interest was not requested, therefore no interest is payable.
DECISION AND REASONS
[3] On July 10, 2025, Tribunal administration filed a Compensation Order Request Form (the “Request”) executed by Tara Van Drunen with Landsolutions Inc. on behalf of the Operator and Lindsay Joiner with KMSC Law LLP on behalf of The Estate of Cheryl Lea Driedger. The Operator and The Estate of Cheryl Lea Driedger have agreed to the amount of compensation and to whom the compensation is payable for the right of entry.
[4] The Operator confirms it has made all reasonable efforts to determine all Respondents with potential claims for compensation arising from the Right of Entry Order. All Respondents have been notified, and no further claims have been received.
[5] Section 8(3.2) of the Act grants the Tribunal the authority to “…adopt as its decision in proceedings a settlement reached by the parties to the proceedings through an alternative dispute resolution process provided for in rules made under subsection (2)(e).”
[6] On August 12, 2025, at Edmonton, Alberta, the Panel considered the Request and found it complete and fully executed and adopts the settlement agreed to by the parties in the Request. This order reflects that settlement.
Dated at the City of Edmonton in the Province of Alberta on August 12, 2025.
