The moving party, a police sergeant, brought a motion to adjourn the hearing of his first appeal regarding 36 counts of misconduct and a penalty of dismissal, and to join it with a second appeal regarding two additional counts of misconduct.

The respondent police service opposed the motion.

The Ontario Civilian Police Commission dismissed the motion, finding that joining the complex appeals would unduly complicate and delay the proceedings, particularly given the moving party was self-represented and the first appeal had already experienced significant delays.

The Commission ordered the first appeal to proceed as scheduled.
