- Parties: The appellant was Dreena Davis. The respondent was the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.

- Subject Matter: The appellant previously worked as an internal conflict management practitioner for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. She was a person with disabilities, was an indeterminate public service employee, and was not a union member. In 2018, she filed with the RCMP’s Office for the Coordination of Harassment Complaints a complaint alleging that her supervisor subjected her to harassment and bullying for several years. An RCMP Assistant Commissioner found that the complaint was not substantiated. The RCMP’s Chief Human Resources Officer dismissed her grievance. She applied for judicial review in the Federal Court but later discontinued her application before it could be heard.

- Ruling: The appeal court ruled in the respondent’s favour, dismissed the appeal, and awarded no costs as the respondent did not seek any. The Federal Court judge did not err in law or make a palpable and overriding error in refusing to intervene, the appeal court held. Allowing the appellant’s civil action to proceed would undermine Parliament’s intent in enacting s. 236(1) of the Federal Public Sector Labour Relations Act and would amount to “an impermissible incursion into the statutory scheme”, the appeal court said.

- Date: The hearing was set on May 28, 2024. The court released its decision on June 24, 2024.

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

- Amount: No financial award was specified.
