That is the one issue that I have a problem with! I think it was extremely irresponsible for him not to. This is very tricky because you have a third party involved, an AC officer for one municipality, an impoundment for another municipality, then the owners. If there was nothing in the AC contract with the town stating he had to turn in his ticket by a certain time, can't sue AC, but can sue the town, I guess.
Is the purpose of the ticket to inform the town or is it to get paid for his services?
As for contacting the owner, how can you contact the owner if you have no idea who it is. I thought, not sure, somebody mentioned that Brew was on the found page of the bandon humane society
. Wonder if that is why there is another line in the bylaws of Brandon (which is not where she is from so she would have to check those) that state the dog is to have his collar with tags on at all times, and owners shall not allow their dogs unrestrained off their property, so AC can locate the owners.
However, suing the pound, which is what I was talking about had nothing to do with the AC turning in the ticket. Two different municipalities. Because the pound is a third party and has no control over the AC from Carberry can a person still sue?
I thought in one of my law classes I was told you couldn't.
I think I remember reading somewhere there is an appeal time for adoptions and seizures, but can't remember which act it was in.
As for no liability, I read that as an liability during impoundment
