27 Bylaw Drafting Fundamentals Canadian Legislative Drafting Conventions Interpretation Act Each word Different words Ordinary meaning Plain language
28 Organization of a Bylaw BC Statutes
29 Statutory Interpretation What courts use to interpret legislation Common law rules known as principles of statutory interpretation Legislated rules established by the Interpretation Act and other legislation
30 Statutory Interpretation 3 key common law principles of statutory interpretation: 1. Every word has meaning 2. Different words mean different things 3. The modern approach
31 Every Word has Meaning Each word adds something that would not be there if the words were left out Legislation does not repeat itself Legislation does not say something that does not need to be said because this has already been done by other legislation, or because the common law does the same thing
32 Every Word Has Meaning costs reasonable costs reasonably incurred costs costs other than costs unreasonably incurred costs that the inspector considers reasonable
33 Different Words Different words mean different things Different words mean different things even when they would be synonyms of each other in non-legal writing The same words mean the same thing
34 Different Words promptly immediately with due dispatch at once in a timely fashion without delay without undue delay forthwith as soon as reasonably practicable as soon as reasonably possible
35 Modern Approach Today there is only one principle or approach, namely, the words of an Act are to be read in their entire context and in their grammatical and ordinary sense harmoniously with the scheme of the Act, the object of the Act and the intention of Parliament. E.A Driedger, The Construction of Statutes (2nd ed.1983), at p. 87
36 Modern Approach - Bylaws The words of a bylaw are to be read o in their entire context, o and in their grammatical and ordinary sense o harmoniously with the scheme of the bylaw, the object of the bylaw and the intention of the local government.
37 Definitions The grammatical and ordinary meaning may be changed by a statutory definition That is, an Act (or a bylaw) may define a word or expression in a manner that is different from the ordinary meaning. The change in meaning may be minor, or it may be substantive
38 Definitions (cont d) Interpretation Act - definitions for over 80 words apply to all legislation (including bylaws) Under section 40 of that Act, Community Charter and Local Government Act definitions apply to all enactments relating to municipal or regional district matters (including bylaws)
39 Plain Language What is plain language A document is in plain language if its users can find what they need, and understand what they find in as short a time as possible
40 Plain Language (Cont d) Minimizing barriers to understanding As examples, plain language uses logical organization from the audience perspective familiar words read rather than peruse short sentences average less than 25 words
41 Plain Language (cont d) Organize for the user Use familiar words Use short sentences Use headings and other pointers
42 Plain Language (cont d) Use familiar words money v. tender Avoid legalese provide v. furnish Use active words consider v. give consideration to
43 Bylaw Drafting Start - clear instructions: problem, background, objective specifics Who, What, Where, When, Why, How, If/If Not, But Write word-by-word every word has meaning, different words mean different things keep the context in mind Use basic legislative sentence as starting point Use plain language techniques
44 Public Hearing Notice Checklist Example of proactive/preventive approach
45 Bylaw Enforcement Bylaw Enforcement Options Creating Offences with Enforcement in Mind Avoiding Federal Criminal Jurisdiction Fines and Penalties
46 Bylaw Enforcement Options o Bylaw notice - bylaw notice adjudication system - Local Government Bylaw Notice Enforcement Act); o Municipal ticket information - Community Charter o o Long-form information - Offence Act Civil proceedings - BC Supreme Court
47 Bylaw Notice Simplest form of enforcement Bylaw notice - completed by a police or bylaw enforcement officer, delivered variety of ways, including in person or by being left on a vehicle Resolved by payment of fine or disputed at an adjudication hearing Not apply to bylaw contraventions involving firearms or motor vehicle speed limits
48 MTI Municipal ticket information is completed by a police or bylaw enforcement officer and must be served in person on the alleged offender May be resolved through payment of a fine and admission of guilt or may be disputed in provincial court Cannot be in relation to bylaw contraventions involving firearms or motor vehicle speed limits
49 Prosecution Offence Act long form information Meant for serious and complex bylaw contraventions Long-form information must be sworn in front of a Provincial Court justice who then issues a Summons which must be personally served on the alleged offender and requires that person s appearance at court
50 Civil Proceedings Section 274 Community Charter or common law injunction Most permanent form of bylaw enforcement Municipality may begin a proceeding in the BC Supreme Court to enforce or prevent or restrain the contravention of a bylaw No fines, but court costs can exceed fines
51 R v Badyal Storage of trucks v parking Check court precedents for words used when drafting
52 White v Comox-Strathcona No derelict vehicles in industrial zone Defined a unlicensed vehicle not housed within a garage vision and common sense all that required
53 Sundher v Surrey No vehicles in residential zone if exceed 5000 kg and licensed G.V.W. Reference to the G.V.W. licence merely a convenient way to identify the prohibited vehicles
54 Summary Drafting for Enforcement Use precise, objective definitions Consider existing licensing systems Straightforward ways to enforce are best Visual identification most effective since photographs prove offence
55 Entry on Property Community Charter s. 16 Arkinstall v. City of Surrey, 2010 BCCA 250 o Safety Standards Act, SBC 2003, c 39 authorizes warrantless entry and inspection of residences for regulatory purpose of inspecting electrical systems for safety risks related to marijuana grow-ops
56 Arkinstall (cont d) Court found: Valid provincial purpose high expectation of privacy in residence, and inspections constituted considerable intrusion; and Safety Standards Act provisions violated homeowner s s.8 Charter right to be free from unreasonable search and seizure
57 Fines fine or penalty should be proportional to offence If complex fine/penalty structure, this should be set out in table attached to the bylaw as a schedule
58 Fines (cont d) Offences dealt with by bylaw notice cannot impose a fine over $500 Offences dealt with by municipal ticket information cannot impose a fine exceeding $1000 Offences dealt with by long-form information cannot impose a fine exceeding $10,000 or a term of imprisonment exceeding 6 months Bylaws can impose a minimum or maximum fine for each day of a continuing offence
59 Lessons Learned Proactive preventive policies and procedures Checklists Pro forma documents Precedents Continuing education Policy versus operational New law Do it now/delegate
