Document Summary
In general, proof of statutory breach, causative of damages, may be evidence of negligence". 4:40 regulatory offences: a paradoxical tale of two levels of risk analysis: page 4-14. 1, risk assessment is central to the codified standards that the prosecution must prove were violated. If you are found to be unreasonable how do you prove that you took reasonable precautions. Its very narrow: page 4-24, the belief must be reasonable which again imports an objective component, encourages the counsel to provide careful & correct legal advice. If erroneous legal advice were to be a defence, victims of the offences could be deprived of a remedy. & they would have no cause of action against the counsel who gave the erroneous advice: r. v. stucky, make sure you get a good lawyer. Just b/c they don"t charge you doesn"t mean its not compliance.
