Can the Director of Public Prosecutions make a referral of a plaintiff’s claim to the Superior Court of Justice?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Currie v. Greater Sudbury (Police Services Board), 2019 ONSC 5129 (CanLII):
Moreover, there must be a real, and not a speculative, causal connection between the context of a given case and a person’s life, liberty, or security of the person to successfully invoke the protections offered by s. 7 of the Charter: Bedford v. Canada (Attorney General), 2013 SCC 72, at para. 76. There is no such causal connection at all here in the circumstances of the Director’s mere referral of the plaintiff’s claim to the GSPS, and it is plain and obvious that such a claim cannot proceed.
