Does the non-levy of taxes make a dedication complete?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Wright and Maginnis v. Long Branch (Village), 1957 CanLII 37 (ON CA):
The mere non-levy of taxes surely cannot amount to acceptance so as to make the dedication complete. I think that that is implicit in Bailey v. Victoria, and I do not think that anything said in Hunsinger v. Simcoe, supra, is to the contrary. Had taxes been levied and paid, there would have been ipso facto an end to the intention to dedicate. The non-levy kept the offer open and is insufficient in itself to amount to an acceptance.
