Land owners and persons in control of land need to be vigilant and act quickly to protect their property interests. While there has been much commentary on the motion, there is still much which is unclear to the public about its meaning and ambit. To bring some clarity to the issues, we have prepared a series of briefings to provide practical steps that companies should consider.
