Today we've got the 2007 SCC decision of Hill v Hamilton Police which established the tort of negligent investigation. Before Karly takes you through the case, Zach + K chat the background of the case, the tort of negligent investigation, professional negligence in other professions, damages of wrongful incarceration, and the strong dissent penned by Justice Charron.

Today we bring you the dissenting opinion of Charron J. (Bastarache and Rothstein JJ. concurring) in Hill v Hamilton Police. The dissent declined to establish the new tort of negligent investigation. To hear some context and our thoughts on the case, head to Ep 71! Legal Listening - Where Audio Obiter is Our Thing!
