The applicant sought judicial review of a decision by the Law Enforcement Complaints Agency (LECA) confirming the London Police Service Chief's dismissal of his police misconduct complaint.
The applicant had complained that an officer acted improperly by refusing to investigate his former partner for child abduction and by directing him to leave the police station.
The Divisional Court applied the reasonableness standard of review and found that the officer had properly exercised his discretion, as the children were not missing but residing with their mother pursuant to a family court order.
The application for judicial review was dismissed.
