On September 19th, Mr. Daniel Bouchard, Managing Partner of the Quebec City office, was speaker at a conference for the Committee for continuing education of municipal judges. The conference, which took place at Times Hotel in Sherbrooke, was entitled "Nuisance et bruits / Salubrité et biens laissés sur le carreau" ((translation) Nuisance and noise / Public health and property removed by bailiff and placed in a public place).
More specifically, this conference examined noise as a nuisance and property left in the street by a bailiff and placed in a public place as a potential public health hazard. By reviewing legislation, case law and doctrine, the presentation ultimately circumscribed the scope of municipal authority with respect to these issues.
