The constitutional validity or constitutional applicability of an Act of the Parliament of Canada or the Legislature, of a regulation or by-law made under such an Act or of a rule of common law is in question. ([ontario.ca](https://www.ontario.ca/laws/statute/90c43/v6?utm_source=openai))\n\n\u2002\u20022. A remedy is claimed under subsection 24(1) of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms in relation to an act or omission of the Government of Canada or the Government of Ontario. ([ontario.ca](https://www.ontario.ca/laws/statute/90c43/v6?utm_source=openai))\n\n(2) If a party fails to give notice in accordance with this section, the Act, regulation, by-law or rule of common law shall not be adjudged to be invalid or inapplicable, or the remedy shall not be granted, as the case may be.
