What is the effect of SOR/2020-96 on registration of restricted firearms?
Alberta, Canada
The following excerpt is from Canada (Attorney General) v. Crawford, 2021 ABPC 106 (CanLII):
In short, according to Hulit v. Canada (Attorney-General), supra, the effect of SOR/2020-96 “was to extinguish the legal validity of registration certificates issued previously for prescribed restricted firearms that are now prescribed as prohibited firearms…. The nullification, revocation, or invalidation of the … registration certificates came into effect on May 1, 2020 by operation of law: that effect was not dependant upon the Registrar of Firearms deciding at some point thereafter to revoke. There was nothing to ‘revoke’; the registration certificates had no legal validity effective May 1, 2020.”
