The applicant, a First Nations Constable with the Anishinabek Police Service (APS), was terminated by the Chief of Police following allegations of sexual misconduct.
The termination occurred without a hearing, contrary to the APS Code of Conduct.
The applicant sought judicial review.
The Divisional Court held that although the APS was created by a tripartite agreement and not by statute, it is a public body fulfilling a governmental function and is therefore subject to judicial review.
The court found that the applicant was a public office holder entitled to procedural fairness, which he was denied.
The decision to terminate was quashed.
