The appellant police constable was convicted of insubordination for being late for duty and ordered to resign.
The conviction was quashed on consent due to a jurisdictional defect.
A fresh charge was laid and heard by the same Committee of Council, which again convicted the appellant.
The appellant appealed, arguing the Committee's rehearing of the matter violated the principles of natural justice and raised a reasonable apprehension of bias.
The Ontario Civilian Police Commission allowed the appeal, finding the appellant was entitled to a hearing before a tribunal that appeared impartial, and returned the matter for a rehearing, urging the designation of a judge.
