Karl R. Fuller

Detective Sergeant H.W. Morris v. Ontario Provincial Police, 1993 CanLII 14140

The appellant police officer appealed a finding of guilt and penalty of forfeiture of two vacation days for a breach of confidence.

The officer had queried the Canadian Police Information Centre and warned his brother, a lawyer, that a client was thought to be violent and dangerous.

The Commission dismissed the appeal against conviction, rejecting arguments regarding non-disclosure of unedited documents and the sufficiency of evidence.

However, finding the breach to be technical and understandable, the Commission reduced the penalty to a reprimand.
