Pierre is a fisherman. The Canadian government passes a new law that states "Fish can only be caught on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday, and only between the hours of 7 AM and 10 PM. Pierre catches an octopus in the sea on a Sunday. The fish police catch him and give him a ticket for breaking the new law. Pierre goes to court, because he says an octopus is not a fish. The judge finds him guilty, and says that all animals in the sea, except mammals, are 'fish'. Questions: 1. Identify which of the laws disclosed by this case study would be statute law and which would be common law. 2. Describe, without reference to the facts in the case study, how common law and statute law interact with each other. Case Study 2: Werner lives in Vancouver, B.C. and wishes to visit his cottage in the province of Nova Scotia, Canada. However, due to the coronavirus, the government of Nova Scotia passes a law that bans any person who is not a full time resident of Nova Scotia from entering the province. Werner is outraged. Questions: 1. What can he do? 2. What two things can the government do if it feels that the restriction is justified? Fully explain each point. Pierre is a fisherman.
