WCC, Specimen forms relating to information or complaints for a matter determinable summarily

Descriptive Data

Archives Identifier00372Date Range1930?-1970DescriptionThese forms are specimens of notices filled by inspectors under the Council bylaws and regulations, Public Health Acts, and other legislation and signed by a Magistrate or Justice of the Peace.

This process allowed certain offences to be punished summarily - fined or otherwise punished on the evidence of a Council inspector. The basic form is printed, and the Council added typed information about the particular offence - the person, the illegal action, the law, bylaw or regulation infringed. The form was then signed by a magistrate or JP and the inspector.

The notices cover a very wide range offences under Council control. They relate to non-compliance regarding permits for building, plumbing, etc., licenses for using premises or public spaces for entertainment, theatre, etc., to health and hygiene in restaurants, shops and other commercial premises, to water, drains and sewage, to streets, encroachments and lighting, to vehicles and transportation of goods, to animals especially dogs, noxious weeds and fire risks. Some of these duties are now the concern of other authorities, such as district health offices or regional bodies.Quantity (Linear Metres)0.25MediumBound VolumeSystem of ArrangementIn form number order.Collection TypeWellington City Council
