Judicial review of RCMP Commissioner's decision upholding dismissal dismissed; applicant waived right to oral hearing.
The applicant, an RCMP constable, sought judicial review of a decision by the RCMP Commissioner upholding his dismissal for misconduct.
The applicant argued that the lack of an oral hearing before the Conduct Board breached procedural fairness and violated the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Act.
The Federal Court found that the applicant had waived his right to an oral hearing and that the Commissioner reasonably concluded a "public" hearing under the Act does not strictly require an "oral" hearing.
The application for judicial review was dismissed.
