Stanley v. Office of the Independent Police Review Director

The Director lacked authority—at common law and under the Police Services Act as then in force—to reopen and reconsider his decision to refer a retained investigation as a hearing referral under s.68(3); he was functus officio once that referral was made, so the December 10, 2015 reversal was unauthorized and must be set aside; the OIPRD Rules were later amended to permit reconsideration but that power did not exist at the time of the reversal.

  • Functus officio
  • Reconsideration
  • Oiprd jurisdiction
  • Police services act provisions
  • Investigative vs adjudicative decision-making
