APPEAL BOOK ENDORSEMENT

[1]

The appellant appeals the dismissal of his claim for negligent
    investigation of a theft and misfeasance in public office. He maintains that he
    entered into a contract with the police and that the police breached it. We
    would not give effect to this submission. The motion judge committed no error
    in dismissing the claim.

[2]

There is no basis for the appellants claim that a contract was entered
    into or that a special relationship was created with the police. The motion
    judge correctly applied the law and we see no basis to interfere. Costs to the
    respondent fixed at $2,500 all inclusive.
