Is the City the wrong party to respond to allegations of police misconduct?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from British Columbia/Yukon Association of Drug War Survivors v. Abbotsford (City), 2015 BCCA 142 (CanLII):
I am not persuaded by the argument that the Chief Justice erred because the City is clearly the wrong party to respond to allegations of police conduct given the institutional and statutory relationship between the City and its police force. The Chief Justice’s analysis is informed by a full appreciation of the relationship between the police and municipalities as is evident from his decision in Henry v. British Columbia, 2014 BCSC 1018.
