True or False: A successful prosecution does not take the place of compliance with the by-law.

Explanation:
Enforcement actions and compliance are two parts of the same process, but they don’t replace each other. A prosecution is about proving that a by-law was violated and may lead to penalties or court orders, but it does not remove the obligation to bring the property or activity into compliance with the by-law. Even after a conviction, the by-law remains in effect and the responsible person must remediate the violation within any court-ordered timeframe or face further enforcement actions. The aim is to deterrence and remedy, not to assume compliance simply because a case was prosecuted.
