The plaintiff, Dale James, brought a motion for summary judgment against the Peel Regional Police Services Board and four police officers, alleging unlawful arrest, detention, harassment, and Charter breaches.
The claims stemmed from an arrest for breach of recognizance based on outdated CPIC information and a subsequent investigative detention.
The defendants denied liability, asserting the arrest was lawful and the detention justified.
The court, applying the principles from Hryniak v. Mauldin, found that there were genuine issues requiring a trial, particularly concerning the officers' knowledge regarding the recognizance, the reasonableness of the investigative detention, and allegations of racial profiling.
Consequently, the plaintiff's motion for summary judgment was dismissed, and the matter was directed to proceed to trial.
