RE: Canadian City Being Sued for 25.5 Million for Cancelling a Caribbean Festival
Nothing more than unsubstantiated rumors and circumstantial evidence that requires thorough corroboration to be admissible in court.
Does the city have legal right to cancel an approved permit in less than 24 hours because of a noise complaint?
When Italy is in the Football World Cup and the games are in Europe, Vaughan seems to permit parties long past 11pm, however, if it is something they find less tasteful, it must be stopped at all costs to preserve the peace.
The municipality has the legal right to revoke permits for breaking noise laws. The lawyer is claiming that the festival was not over 55 decibels and that no noise laws were violated. Damages may/may not be owed are are a different matter.
This is why it's funny, even if they turned off the microphones, amplifiers and speakers it would have been over 55 decibels unless everyone was having a quiet conversation. But the city may not have proof to the contrary. Also they said something about 3am but went on to 320am.
The case will set a precisdent and may go to the supreme court. Police records should also still be available to show the noise complaints.
