Why Limiting Written Submissions in IRP Cases to 30 Pages is Just Plain Unfair
As of January 1, 2025, the British Columbia government has bought into force a new regulation limiting written submissions in Immediate Roadside Prohibition (IRP) cases to a paltry 30 pages.
Framed as a measure to streamline the process, this change is nothing short of an attack on the integrity of administrative justice. The IRP system, already riddled with unfairness, now shackles those trying to mount a defence with a draconian restriction that makes it nearly impossible to present a full and proper case.
This arbitrary page limit—imposed by regulation and alterable at the whim of the government—disregards the complex, technical nature of IRP disputes. It is a blatant attempt to tip the scales further in favour of the state while leaving individuals struggling to meet an unrealistic standard.
