Meekis v. Ontario
The Court of Appeal allowed the appeal in part: it held the motion judge erred in striking the misfeasance in public office and s.15 Charter claims (and attendant claim for Charter damages) because the amended statement of claim, read generously and including the Goudge Report and OCCO Guidelines, disclosed a narrow window of success on allegations of discriminatory exercise of coronial discretion and recklessness; the negligent supervision claim and other claims were properly struck.
