    I think what you mean is can the by-law be retrospective, so in this case a previous change to a door lock would effectively be in breach of the proposed by-law.

    The answer to that is no, because the change to the lock occurred before the by-law. It would be nonsensical to say that someone breached a by-law that wasn’t in existence.

    One way of clarifying the operation of the by-law is to say that as at the date of the implementation of the by-law, any existing locks are the responsibility of the OC.
