Bill 20 (Legislature 9, Session 4)

Alberta — Bills

Bill No. 20 of 1944. A BILL TO AMEND THE

INTERPRETATION ACT NOTE. This Bill amends

section of The

Interpretation Act,

chapter 1, R.S.A., 1942, which

section makes mountain standard time the standard time of the Province.

Section of The Alberta Insurance Act provides in part as follows: "Subject to subsection (2), all policies of hail insurance shall expire at noon standard time on the fifteenth day of September in the year in which they are made." I understand that some difflculty has already been experienced in connection with certain hail losses which occur on the fifteenth of September between twelve and one daylight saving time. The question arose as to whether the claims under those policies could be collected in view of the terms of the Statute.

It seems desirable that the matter should be clarified so that there would he no doubt about the recovery of such losses. W. S. GRAY, Acting Legislative Counsel. (This note does not form any part of the Bill but is offered 'in explanation of its provisions.) BILL No. 20 of 1944.
