Does a by-law of animals running at large apply to a plaintiff who was injured in a motor vehicle accident?

Saskatchewan, Canada


The following excerpt is from Larson v. Laube, 1945 CanLII 149 (SK QB):

But we have still to consider the effect of the prohibition by by-law of animals running at large. This, it is claimed, in itself gives a right of action to a person injured. Again the law is not entirely clear. In Cox v. Burbidge, supra, there was reference to a highway Act the terms of which I do not know, but it was not considered that any prohibition contained therein was relevant to the matters in question.
