Points Table Nova Scotia Department of Justice Summary Offence Ticket Booklet Instructions for Summary Offence Ticket (Form A) Introduction These instructions set out information about the summary offence ticket (Form A) and administrative procedures for the ticket, as well as instructions to enforcement agencies about completing and issuing a ticket. A ticket may be served by a police officer, a peace officer or a special constable (including a bylaw enforcement officer appointed as a special constable). If you are unsure if you or your agency has the requisite qualifications and training to serve a ticket, contact your legal counsel. Except for parking-infraction tickets, tickets should be served personally. NOTE: There are specific instructions for dealing with youth charges. There are specific instructions for dealing with a corporate offender. Purpose of the ticket The purpose of a summary offence ticket is to provide an alternative to a long-form information under the Summary Proceedings Act for laying a charge for an offence. The ticket incorporates the information, the summons to accused, an affidavit of service and the officer record. A person issued a ticket is provided with • immediate notice that they are charged with an offence • the exact circumstances of the offence • for adults: 1) the due date by which they must pay the out-of-court-settlement amount or complete Form A-1 to notify the court of their intent to appear for trial or a sentencing hearing, and 2) any out-of-court settlement amount that they may pay and plead guilty rather than go to court • for youths: the time and place for arraignment by a youth court judge (out-of-court settlement amount is left blank) Note: Youth who are 16 or 17 years old are considered adults when charged with offences under the Motor Vehicle Act. (See S. 13A of the Youth Justice Act.) Updated: November 2014 Instructions – Page 1 Nova Scotia Department of Justice Summary Offence Ticket Booklet Completing the ticket Page 1 of the ticket: Information and Affidavit of Service The Information portion When processing a ticket against an accused, the informant (usually the issuing officer) must complete the information portion of the ticket down to and including: the officer’s name and police force or enforcement agency or authority; the officer’s informant ID, if one has been issued by their agency, and the reasonable and probable grounds date (date information sworn). If the ticket is for a corporate offender, print the name of the corporation in the space provided for the first and last name of an individual and insert “Recognized agent:” on the address lines, together with the name and address of the recognized agent of the corporation.

  • Immigration Consequences at Sentencing
    Update on Criminal Inadmissibility Peter Edelmann1 Division 4 of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (“IRPA”) sets out the various grounds of inadmissibility along with a number of evidentiary and procedural matters. This paper will focus on the grounds of criminal inadmissibility set out in section 36. It will not address the related grounds of inadmissibility such as those under sections 34(security), 35 (international crimes) and 37 (organized criminality), each of which would provide ample material for a lengthy paper on their own. Section 36 sets out the grounds that render individuals inadmissible for criminality. The most fundamental distinction in s.36 is between criminality and serious criminality. Criminality, as described in s.36(2), only affects foreign nationals: A36 (2) A foreign national is inadmissible on grounds of criminality for (a) having been convicted in Canada of an offence under an Act of Parliament punishable by way of indictment, or of two offences under any Act of Parliament not arising out of a single occurrence; (b) having been convicted outside Canada of an offence that, if committed in Canada, would constitute an indictable offence under an Act of Parliament, or of two offences not arising out of a single occurrence that, if committed in Canada, would constitute offences under an Act of Parliament; (c) committing an act outside Canada that is an offence in the place where it was committed and that, if committed in Canada, would constitute an indictable offence under an Act of Parliament; or (d) committing, on entering Canada, an offence under an Act of Parliament prescribed by regulations.

The functions of the Law Reform Commissioner, as defined by Section 8 (a) of the Law Reform Act 1973, include advising the Attorney-General on the modernisation of the law, having regard to the needs of the community. 2. The purpose of this Working Paper is to examine those special rules of law which in some cases relieve wives, and in other cases both husbands and wives, from criminal liability for conduct which would render them liable if they were unmarried. 3. Those rules originated long before the reforms of the law on the civil side which, during the past 100 years, have removed the legal disabilities of married women in matters of property, contract and family law, and long before those social changes which, in modern times, have reduced the discrimination to which women have been subjected in respect of education and economic opportunities.
