What is an adjudication hearing?

An adjudication hearing allows the local government to hear bylaw violation disputes locally rather than through the Provincial Court System. Under the Local Government Bylaw Notice Enforcement Act, the Attorney General appoints private adjudicators to hear from both the disputant and the local government and decide if the offence took place.  Adjudication hearings are open to the public.
