Motion for third-party production in police discipline hearing partially granted based on arguable relevance.
The applicant, a Deputy Chief facing misconduct charges under the Police Services Act, brought a motion for third-party production of various documents from the Ottawa Police Service, including the personnel and application files of a civilian complainant.
The Commission assumed jurisdiction to order third-party production and applied the four-part West Park test.
The motion was dismissed regarding the personnel and application files as the applicant failed to establish their arguable relevance, but granted regarding specific notes and emails from two other individuals that were found to be arguably relevant.
