RCMP officers appeal ruling that Braidwood Inquiry has authority to find fault

Author: Jesse Lobdell

Perhaps unsurprisingly, Constables Bill Bentley and Kwesi Millington have appealed the BC Supreme Court ruling that Commissioner Braidwood has authority to make findings of fault.  The appeal also seeks to prevent the Commission from continuing proceedings against the two officers until 60 days after the BC Court of Appeal rules on the matter.

The Braidwood Inquiry, which is investigating the death of Robert Dziekanski, was set to conclude until an internal RCMP email surfaced that appears to contradict sworn testimony.  Unless further delayed, the inquiry will resume on September 22.

Check out the story in the Vancouver Sun.

    I’ll see what I can find on the appeal.
