The appellant, a police officer, brought an action against the police association, the police board, and various officers for workplace-related complaints.
The motion judge dismissed the action, finding the Superior Court lacked jurisdiction because the dispute arose from the employment relationship and was governed by the collective agreement and the Police Services Act.
The Court of Appeal upheld the dismissal, confirming that the legislative scheme provides a comprehensive mechanism for resolving such disputes, including the appointment of a conciliation officer under section 123(1) of the Act.
