Regulatory Offences

Traffic Safety Act, Wildlife Act, Public Health Act, and More 

While regulatory offences are often thought of like traffic tickets (which are regulatory offences), the consequences of convictions for many regulatory offences can be sever, with fines of up to $100,000 being sought an obtained. Some of the most common, serious regulatory offences in Alberta occur under the Wildlife Act and the Public Health Act. Additionally, the consequences of a conviction under Traffic Safety Act can have a significant impact on one’s life as some convictions will trigger a mandatory licence suspension of one year that cannot easily be undone following a conviction. That is why it is important to hire an Experienced Edmonton Regulatory Lawyer if you are charged with a regulatory offence in Alberta. 

Edmonton Regulatory Lawyer

Stacey has extensive experience dealing with many regulatory offences. In one instance where a client was charged under the Public Health Act, Stacey convinced a Provincial Court Judge to impose $12 in fines for her 77-year-old client who was the victim of fraud where the Crown was initially seeking in excess of $100,000 in fines. In another case, Stacey was able to convince the Crown to drop the majority of charges under the Wildlife Act where DNA evidence was not properly disclosed saving her client in excess of $10,000 in fines.
