The applicant, a police officer, brought a motion to set aside a Registrar's order dismissing his appeal for delay.
The appeal was from a disciplinary decision of the Ontario Civilian Police Commission.
The applicant failed to perfect the appeal and did not respond to the respondent's inquiries.
The court applied the four factors for setting aside a dismissal order and found that the applicant failed to provide an acceptable explanation for the delay, did not act inadvertently, failed to move promptly to set aside the order, and that the merits of the appeal were highly questionable.
The motion was dismissed.
