The plaintiff brought a motion for leave to add the Port Hope Police Services Board as a defendant and to amend his statement of claim.
The proposed amendments alleged that Port Hope Police provided an unredacted report to the Canadian Human Rights Commission, leading to the dismissal of his complaint, and that police were involved in his termination from employment.
The court dismissed the motion to add Port Hope Police, finding the proposed claims were an abuse of process as they sought to relitigate findings already made in previous Federal Court and wrongful dismissal proceedings.
Unopposed amendments to increase damages and add a Charter claim against the existing defendant were permitted.
