In 2012, Phillion sued the Crown, Ottawa Police Service, and two police officers (Det. McCombie and Det. Nadori) for both negligence and deliberate wrongdoing in regards to his wrongful conviction. The motions judge dismissed his lawsuit, finding that it was an abuse of process and moreover should be stayed due to the passage of time since Phillion’s 1972 murder conviction. In 2014, Phillion successfully appealed this decision to the Ontario Court of Appeal, which held that his suit was not an abuse of process and that the time had elapsed through no fault of Phillion’s. The Crown then applied to the Supreme Court for leave to appeal that decision, which the Supreme Court rejected in February 2015. Phillion died in September of that year.
