Part One has to be served on a person over what age?

• A. 18
• B. 21
• C. 16
• D. 14

Answer: (C)

Part One is a notice used in bylaw and provincial offences enforcement that becomes enforceable once it is properly served on the right person. The rule is that this notice can be served on someone who is at least 16 years old. That age threshold ensures the recipient is capable of understanding the notice and taking appropriate steps to comply, or for the responsible adult to handle the matter if needed. If the occupant is younger than 16, service would typically go to a parent or guardian who can act on behalf of the child.

So, the required serving age is 16. Ages higher than that aren’t specified in this rule, and younger ages aren’t appropriate for direct service of Part One because they wouldn’t typically have the legal capacity to respond, hence the guardian would be involved for those under 16.
