They were also awarded interest from July 1, 1985, and court costs The decision sends ‘‘a strong message"’ that if West Kootenay Power abuses the rights of an in dividual and is inconsiderate of the en: vironment, it must pay the consequen- ces, lawyer Don King, who represented the three, said John Maguire, lawyer for West Kootenay Power and Light Co., said he hadn't seen the reasons - for judgment\and wouldn't be able to comment. West Kootenay Power damaged the property ‘‘and deliberately neglected to clean up after the construction,” Mr. Justice Howard Hamilton says ina written decision “The most reprehensible conduct on the part of the defendant and the clearest evidence of its bad faith is the failure after the damage was done to take any steps to restore the lands.”” In 1961 the thrée orchardists granted the power company an easement over a portion of their lands that were being used for grazing. Three years later the company used the right-of-way to build a transmission line through their properties.
