That's the heart of the matter – is a bylaw that says effectively and literally, “we give you permission to clamp our cars” a true instrument of legal permission by the owner? If it is, then such a by-law is not in contravention of the law because the law allows for permission to be given.
Don't get me wrong – I'm not saying this is the case. I don't know. As I said in my column, this hasn't been tested and it may not be valid. We won't know for sure until someone challenges it and gets a ruling.
However, I can assure you this by-law has been adopted in a couple of buildings (to great effect on the parking problem – I hasten to add) and I don't know of any cases where it has been struck down either at the CTTT or in court.
