Ontario Provincial Offences
In Ontario, there are many laws that regulate nearly every aspect of life, including employment. These laws create Provincial Offences that are considered “quasi-criminal” in nature due to the serious punishments that can be imposed on businesses who violate the law, such as jail and large fines.
In Ontario, Provincial Offences include, for example, charges brought under the Employment Standards Act, 2000, Occupational Health and Safety Act, Workplace Safety and Insurance Act, Residential Tenancies Act, Environmental Protection Act, and municipal by-law offences (e.g., excessive noise, sign permits, property standards and zoning by-laws).
The impact of a conviction for Provincial Offences, including a Ministry of Labour complaint, can be costly and highly detrimental to your business. We can assist you in avoiding or minimizing the potentially harmful consequences of a conviction.
If you have been charged with a Provincial Offence, Bune Law can help, including for individuals and businesses charged with Provincial Offences before the Ontario Court of Justice.
