What is the test for a party to obtain a permit to enter a public building?

Alberta, Canada


The following excerpt is from Stavely (Town) v. Fern Brothers, 1987 ABCA 233 (CanLII):

In our opinion, what is required is a bona fide intention to use the premises and actual use so far as is practicable. That conclusion is consistent not only with American authority but with the Canadian authority of long standing referred to in the trial judgment in the City of Saint John v. Killam case.
