The appellant appealed a trial judgment dismissing his action for false arrest and false imprisonment against the police and municipality.
He argued the trial judge should have considered negligence and erred in finding the police had reasonable and probable grounds to arrest him without further investigation.
The Divisional Court dismissed the appeal, holding that negligence was not pleaded and the trial judge had no duty to advise the unrepresented appellant to amend his claim.
The Court also found no palpable or overriding error in the trial judge's conclusion that the police had reasonable and probable grounds based on the complainants' statements.
