The appellant, a participant in the provincial Witness Protection Program, sued the government for breach of contract, negligence, and Charter violations after experiencing significant delays in receiving new identity documents and being terminated from the program.
The motion judge granted summary judgment dismissing the action.
On appeal, the Court of Appeal upheld the dismissal, finding that while the government's administration of the program was flawed and delayed, it had exceeded its financial obligations under the agreement, and the appellant's own conduct justified his termination from the program.
