. Liu v. London Police Service

In Liu v. London Police Service (Div Court, 2024) the Divisional Court dismissed a JR of "the decision of the Chief of Police of the London Police Service (LPS), and the unreported decision of the Director of the Law Enforcement Complaints Agency (LECA), formerly known as the Office of the Independent Police Review Director (OIPRD), confirming the Chief’s decision.":
Request for OIPRD review

[15] On March 9, 2024, the applicant requested that the Director of the OIPRD conduct a review of the Chief’s decision, pursuant to s. 71 of the Police Services Act.

OIPRD becomes LECA

[16] On April 1, 2024, the Police Services Act was repealed and replaced with the Community Safety and Policing Act, S.O. 2019, c.1, Sched. 1. The Community Safety and Policing Act created the Law Enforcement Complaints Agency (LECA) which replaced the former OIPRD. LECA is an arms-length agency of the Ontario Ministry of the Attorney General that is tasked with investigation of public complaints about the conduct of police officers in Ontario.

Complaints Director’s decision

[17] On April 17, 2024, the Complaints Director with LECA wrote to the applicant setting out his decision confirming the decision of the Chief of Police that the allegations of misconduct were unsubstantiated. In his decision, the Complaints Director advised that, given the request for review had been made prior to April 1, the Director had conducted the review pursuant to s. 71 of the Police Services Act.

....

Standard of Review

[22] The decision of the OIPRD (LECA) is reviewable on a standard of reasonableness: Canada (Minister of Citizenship and Immigration) v. Vavilov, 2019 SCC 65 (CanLII), 2019 S.C.C. 65, [2019] 4 S.C.R. 653.
