VANCOUVER – The judge conducting a provincial inquiry into the death of Robert Dziekanski can find misconduct against the RCMP officers involved, the B.C. Court of Appeal ruled Tuesday.

The Appeal Court upheld a lower court decision rejecting the RCMP's argument that Thomas Braidwood had no jurisdiction to make the findings because his provincial inquiry doesn't have authority over the federal force.

Braidwood warned early this year that he wanted to consider whether to allege misconduct against the four officers involved when he writes his final report.
