- Parties: The applicant was Christopher Andrew Anthony Williams. The respondents were the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and Attorney General of Canada. 

- Subject Matter: This matter involved the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Act, 1985; the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Regulations, 1988 (SOR/88-361); and the Canadian Human Rights Act, 1985. This judicial review application sought to set aside a decision by the delegate of the Commissioner of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) under s. 18(1)(a) of the Commissioner’s Standing Orders (Grievances and Appeals), SOR/2014-289. The decision dismissed the applicant’s grievance of occupational factor 06 permanent designation under s. 31(1) of the Commissioner’s Standing Orders (Grievance and Appeals). The O6 designation was reserved for RCMP members who are unable to return to the workplace in any capacity for the foreseeable future. The applicant contended that the initial-level decision contravened the principles of procedural fairness, was based on an error of law, and was clearly unreasonable. This case is ongoing. 

- Date: The hearing was set on Apr. 4, 2025. 

- Venue: This was a federal case before the Federal Court. 

- Amount: No financial award was specified.
