I would just offer the comment that it's a bit of a signal to the applicant for an order that they have to do so in a timely manner. The court has to deal with the situation that's in front of them and you can't send a notice to the band council six months or a year after the events that you're trying to deal with in the application. So it's just a signal that you need to do that without delay and the expectation is that it will be done in that timeframe.
If an individual fails to do that, then they won't have complied with this particular section, and the court would have some difficulty looking at the entire set of circumstances.
But one of the things that's likely to happen is that the court itself in the application will ask if a notice was provided to the council. So it's one of the steps that one needs to go through as an applicant before the court.
