Key legal question
Whether the expropriation commission had jurisdiction to deal with the request for renewal and extension of the transmission-line rights.
Extracted holding
The commission lacked jurisdiction because the request concerned a new and expanded use of the line after the original easement had expired, requiring a planning-permit procedure rather than expropriation treatment alone.
Extracted reasoning
The intended telecom use and renewed line rights were not a mere continuation of the former easement. The situation had materially changed, the original contractual right had expired, and coordination had to take place in the planning-permit procedure.
