Canada has a similar law under the Fisheries Act.

You can pursue a private prosecution if you can find a court willing to hear your case.

You would get half of the fine (if any).

The only problem is that the Crown can take over the case if it wants, so you may lose out on your investment if your case is too good.

Other laws let you pursue private prosecutions, but you don’t get a cut, so there’s little incentive.




>private prosecutions

Is this another name for civil law suit ?
