What are the reasons and reasons of a hearing officer’s analysis of disposition factors?

Ontario, Canada


The following excerpt is from Wells v. Cornwall Police Service, 2021 ONCPC 13 (CanLII):

In reviewing the Hearing Officer’s reasons and the alleged errors in his analysis we are to bear in mind that our role is not to second-guess the Hearing Officer, whose assessment of and weight given to the factors is entitled to deference. Also, none of the disposition factors are paramount over the others and the factors are intended to be “flexible, contextual and may evolve over time”: see Husseini v. York Regional Police Service, 2018 ONSC 283 (Div. Ct.).
