The appellant appealed a Divisional Court decision that found a reasonable apprehension of bias regarding the adjudicator appointed for a police disciplinary hearing.
After leave to appeal was granted, the respondent officer retired, which by operation of the Police Services Act ended the disciplinary proceedings.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal as moot, declining to exercise its discretion to hear the case because the substratum of the dispute had disappeared and the issues did not raise questions of broad public importance.
