Analysis of ERC consistent with established practice. Grievor must show meets s. 31 RCMP Act criteria to present grievance. Has not shown how was aggrieved. Finds house, transfers lot as part payment. Claims legal and real estate fees for house and for purchase and sale of lot.
Force pays only fees for house.
The ERC issued its findings and recommendations. Expenses must relate to purchase of residence or be necessary to obtain clear title to property. Transaction re lot not meeting criteria for reimbursement. Grievor precipitous in buying lot before knowing if could build. Transfer of lot only financing arrangement to pay for house, not necessary to obtain clear title to house.
