What is the standard of abuse of process established in Blencoe Police Complaint Review Tribunal?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Diaz-Rodriguez v. British Columbia (Police Complaint Commissioner), 2020 BCCA 221 (CanLII):
Although I agree with the judge that the history of these proceedings may aptly be described as “tortured,” and that the process fell well short of the goal of the 2010 amendments to the police complaint process of “timely decisions” (Lowe v. Diebolt, 2014 BCCA 280 at paras. 61–63), I would respectfully disagree that the delay met the high standard of abuse of process established in Blencoe. My reasons for that view follow.
