Punitive Damages Debate Over Town Bylaw Changes
The case discusses a 2001 bylaw change allowing officials to seize animals at large on private land not buildings, aiming to deter conduct. Counsel Mason Jardine notes the change, while Toews criticizes the bylaw’s reach and a CAO notice failure. The defendant’s apology is weighed against potential compensation, with debate over whether punitive damages are warranted.
