Document Summary
This semester is much more driven by caselaw. Pridgen v the university of calgary - good decision on this type of thing. the issue of whether it is a statutory delegation of authority is perhaps not correct, but they are governmental in nature. Section 32(1) - applies to government, parliament and legislatures and the bodies to which they delegate their authority. Delegated authority: ramsden vs. peter, black vs lsa, slaight v. davidson. By nature: guta v. sfs, godbout v. loungueille. There is nothing that prevents the provinces from scrapping the municipal act. Law societies are examples of delegated power, but their running of charity events, conferences for lawyers etc are not part of the government. It is debatable whether the charter applies to those actions. It is a statutory delegation of authority, not through the municipal act, but there is a libraries act. This is probably because a fine can be considered a tax and you need authority
