The appellant, a police constable, appealed a decision of the regional board of commissioners of police upholding his dismissal from the force.
The appellant argued that the Chief of Police's conduct during the initial hearing raised a reasonable apprehension of bias, citing the Chief's acquaintance with the appellant's mother-in-law, the handling of a missing notebook, and an alleged statement in the transcript that there would be 'no use of appeal.' The Commission found no evidence of bias, accepted an affidavit correcting the transcript error, and held that the missing notebook was not crucial evidence.
The Commission also granted a motion to amend an incorrect date on the charge sheet, finding no prejudice to the appellant.
The appeal was dismissed.
