Is requiring a certificate of analysis under section 258 compliant with section 258 of the Motor Vehicle Act?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Streeter v. British Columbia (Superintendent of Motor Vehicles), 2009 BCSC 1410 (CanLII):
Nor is this interpretation at odds with “the legislative purpose of this fasciculus of sections” in the Motor Vehicle Act, namely, to provide an expeditious response and summary avenue of redress: Bahia v. British Columbia (Superintendent of Motor Vehicles), 2006 BCCA 511. Neither the rapidity of response, nor the summary nature of the review is imperilled by such an interpretation. That is, requiring that any certificate of analysis under section 258 be compliant with section 258, does not jeopardize the timing or nature of the response or the timing or nature of the administrative review.
