A reason for a police officer to require someone to leave a public place if their presence is interfering with how people normally use the space.

A reason for a police officer to require someone to leave a public place if there is a concern that that person or someone else is at risk.

When a person living in a place complains to a justice of the peace about excessive noise affecting their residence.

A legal document requiring a noisy person to appear in court to address the noise complaint.

A court order requiring a noisy person to reduce or stop the noise, potentially setting time limits.

The court considers whether there is a valid reason for the noise before issuing an abatement order.

For failing to follow a court-ordered noise reduction, one can face a fine of $2,000.

Police can provide the name and address of a person to whom a noise direction was issued to help others make complaints.

The court can order the noisy person to pay the complainant's legal costs associated with the case.

The court can refuse to award costs to the complainant if it determines the complaint was unreasonable or frivolous.

Police can enter your property to stop loud noise if it's bothering others. They can ask questions and need a reason, like finding out who's making the noise.

If you refuse to answer police questions about noise, you could be fined $200.

If your dog attacks or threatens someone, you could be fined $5,000.

You can avoid a fine if the victim provoked your dog, was on your property for an illegal purpose, or was not entering by the shortest route.

It's illegal to intentionally encourage a dog to behave in a way that could make its owner liable for an attack.

The person legally responsible for a dog includes the owner, current custodian, the person responsible for where the dog is kept, and, if the owner is under 17, a parent or guardian.

People who are not considered 'owners' include authorized officers, police officers, and pound keepers controlling dogs for their jobs.

The person responsible for a dog may be liable for the dog's actions. To avoid liability, you need to prove the victim, not the dog, was responsible.
