The applicant, a police officer, sought judicial review of a decision by the Police Governing Authority granting an extension of time to serve a Notice of Hearing for disciplinary action.
The applicant was not given notice of the request for an extension and had no opportunity to make submissions.
The Divisional Court held that this failure breached minimal requirements of procedural fairness, rendering the decision fundamentally flawed and justifying intervention despite the interlocutory nature of the ruling.
The court quashed the decision and ordered the applicant's salary to be paid for the period of his suspension.
