摘要：
In October of 2007, the Supreme Court of Canada issued its ruling
in Hill v. Hamilton-Wentworth Regional Police Services Board, a
case in which the Court addressed the legitimacy of a tort for negligent
police investigation. The holding by a majority of six Justices
recognized the tort of negligent police investigation at Canadian
law. As such, Canada is now one of the only common law countries
to have recognized such a tort. This paper summarizes the case and
addresses its implications for the Canadian law enforcement community.
