Wong and Toronto Police Service, 2015 ONCPC 15

Police officer's misconduct finding for unlawful G20 arrest upheld; one-day suspension confirmed.

Constable Wong appealed a finding of misconduct and a penalty of a one-day suspension without pay for making an unlawful arrest during the G20 Summit.

The public complainant also appealed the penalty, arguing it was inadequate.

The Ontario Civilian Police Commission found that the Hearing Officer erred in law regarding the burden of proof and the essential elements of the misconduct charge.

However, the Commission exercised its power to substitute its own decision, finding that the evidence supported the misconduct charge on a balance of probabilities.

The Commission upheld the one-day suspension penalty as reasonable.

Wilson and Toronto Police Service, 2015 ONCPC 14

Motion to strike portions of statutory intervener's factum partially granted to remove an impermissible request.

The appellant police officer brought a motion to strike portions of a factum delivered by the Independent Police Review Director (OIPRD), acting as a statutory intervener in her disciplinary appeal.

The appellant argued the OIPRD overstepped its permissible boundaries by making submissions not based on the record and inviting policy considerations.

The Commission held it had jurisdiction to strike portions of a factum under the Statutory Powers Procedure Act to control its own process.

The Commission struck one paragraph that requested an order beyond the OIPRD's mandate, but dismissed the remainder of the motion, finding the other impugned paragraphs were not so obviously irrelevant or inappropriately prejudicial as to justify being struck.
