6 Initial Events Series of Bank Robberies Mr. Hill Identified as a Suspect Criminal Trial #1: Conviction Criminal Appeal: Appeal Allowed Criminal Trial #2: Acquittal
7 Civil Trial Negligent Investigation Action Allowed
8 Civil Trial Con t I do not think that the Caucasian and native Canadian mix in fact had any sway in the arrangement chosen, or in the results in regard to Mr. Hill being picked out.
9 Civil Appeal Five Judge Panel 3:2 Split on Question of Negligence Negligent Investigation is a Cause of Action in Ontario
10 Supreme Court of Canada 6:3 Split on Question of Existence of Tort Negligent Investigation is a Cause of Action in Canada Appeal Dismissed No Negligence Found
11 Standard?
12 Duty of Care To a Particularized Suspect Only
13 Conflict?
14 Standard of Care / Test the reasonable police officer in like circumstances
15 Standard / Test con t The standard is not perfection, or even the optimum, judged from the vantage of hindsight. It is that of a reasonable officer, judged in the circumstances prevailing at the time the decision was made
16 Standard / Test con t Police meet a standard of reasonableness by merely doing what a reasonable police officer would do in the same circumstances
17 Limitation Period..not when the negligent act is committed, but rather when the harmful consequences of the negligence result
18 Application of Hill
