The appellant police officer sued the respondent police association for breach of its duty of fair representation.
The motion judge struck the claim for want of jurisdiction, finding that such claims fall within the exclusive jurisdiction of a labour arbitrator.
The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal, holding that it was bound by its previous decision in Renaud v. LaSalle (Town of) Police Assn., which established that an arbitrator appointed under the Police Services Act has exclusive jurisdiction over these disputes.
