Can a city prevent a private flying club from operating under a by-law?

British Columbia, Canada


The following excerpt is from R. in Right of B.C. v. Van Gool, 1985 CanLII 410 (BC SC):

His Lordship followed Johannesson v. West St. Paul. He concluded that since the flying club possessed a valid federal licence at the location in question, the city could not prevent its use through the device of a by-law enacted under the umbrella of a provincial statute. Of course, that case is not binding upon me but it is one which should receive respectful attention.
