Alberta — Bills

Bill No. 53 of 1941. A BILL TO AMEND THE

SUMMARY CONVICTIONS ACT NOTE. This Bill amends The

Summary Convictions Act. The new

section 3a is a re-enactment of subsection (1) of

section of The Criminal Code which defines the per sons who are parties to and guilty of offences. This sec tion will very greatly facilitate administration of many Provin,cial Statutes which create offences and will remove any doubt which may exist as to whether or not these pro visions are applicable to Provincial offences. The new

section 16a provides that no proceedings shall be quashed or set aside and no defendant shall be dis charged by reason only of the fact that evidence has not been given of any proclamation, rule, regulation or by-law made pursuant to a Provincial Statute. This

section pro vides that all such rules and regulations shall be judicially noticed and that they do not have to be presented in evi dence. 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. 53 of 1941.
