The self-represented applicant sought procedural orders, including the issuance of subpoenas against four police officers and the production of internal investigation records, in advance of his mandamus application.
The mandamus application sought to overturn a Justice of the Peace's refusal to allow a private prosecution against two officers for alleged misconduct during an arrest.
The Superior Court of Justice dismissed the procedural requests, finding that the application was a collateral attack on a previous ruling, that fresh evidence is generally inadmissible on judicial review, and that compelling the officers to testify would violate their Charter rights against self-incrimination.
