The BC Government has introduced new legislation to fundamentally alter the IRP scheme.
The law will eliminate remedies for old Immediate Roadside Prohibitions. The law will make the Superintendent a party in adjudication. The legislation will limit the arguments that can be made and the submissions that can be made on behalf of applicants.
In our opinion upon preliminary review of the legislation, if enacted this law will once again put the IRP scheme in violation of the Charter of Rights.
We intend to challenge it on behalf of all British Columbians.
We will provide more extensive updates concerning this gigantic IRP news as we have an opportunity to study the legislation. Stand by.

We’ve recreated the primary IRP sections of the Motor Vehicle Act with the Bill-15 changes included.
