Hi Everyone,
Has anyone come across a handy list or source of received law (ie. old British statutes that are still in force) that still apply in BC?
In my good ol’ home of Alberta, a handy list was provided in the Alberta Legal Desk Book (an oldie, but a goodie!), but I would love to know if a similar source exists here.
Thanks in advance for your insights,
~Jason
PS. If anyone is interested, I’ve been asked to confirm if the Fires Prevention (Metropolis Act), 1774, 14 Geo III, c 78 is still in effect. I suspect it is likely received law, and I did find a handy link to it thanks to Courthouse Libraries BC, but I would greatly appreciate being able to confirm with another source
