What is the effect of a motion to squash a bylaw authorizing a plebiscite?
Saskatchewan, Canada
The following excerpt is from Moore v. Maidstone (Town), 1989 CanLII 4549 (SK QB):
Darby v. City of Toronto (1889), 17 O.R. 554, involved an application to squash a bylaw authorizing a plebiscite. Osier, J.A., commented, at p. 561: "It is another instance of a pernicious practice which has been too frequently resorted to, of taking a plebiscite upon a subject wholly within the discretion of the council, which it is their duty to decide and to take the responsibility of deciding, themselves, without putting the public to expense."
