The Legal Services Department provides County departments with legal advice on a wide range of topics affecting their operations. It also coordinates the delivery of services to the County by specialist outside law firms and legal services providers.
The Department is also responsible to prosecute violations of County by-laws and many types of violations of provincial laws such as the Highway Traffic Act, the Compulsory Automobile Insurance Act, the Trespass to Property Act, and the Liquor License Act in cases where police officers have issued “tickets” to defendants.
