The appellant, a private informant, laid an information alleging that a police force and several officers committed seven indictable offences based on his partner's workplace grievances.
Following a pre-enquete, a justice of the peace refused to issue process on six counts due to a lack of evidence on essential elements, and the Crown stayed the seventh count.
The appellant applied for orders in lieu of mandamus and certiorari, which the application judge dismissed.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal, finding no jurisdictional error by the justice of the peace and no flagrant impropriety in the Crown's stay of proceedings.
