The appellant, a police constable, sought an extension of time to serve a Notice of Appeal regarding his dismissal from the police force following a criminal conviction for assault.
The Ontario Civilian Police Commission held that under Section 24 of Regulation 791, the maximum period within which a Notice of Appeal may be served is 45 days, and therefore it lacked jurisdiction to extend the time.
In the alternative, the Commission found that the proposed appeal lacked sufficient merit to justify an extension of time, and dismissed the application.
