The applicants sought judicial review of a decision by the Ontario Police Civilian Commission finding the applicant police officer guilty of insubordination.
The officer had failed to comply with an order from the Chief of Police, arguing that a portion of the order requesting tax information was unlawful.
The Divisional Court dismissed the application, holding that even if the tax information request was unlawful, the officer was still obliged to obey the remaining lawful aspects of the order, and his failure to do so constituted insubordination.
