The Executive Branch and Judicial Discipline: A Discussion on Lauzon v Ontario (Justices of the Peace Review Council)
RECORDING
Description
Should the consequences for judicial misconduct be different depending solely on the identity of the person who makes a complaint? In a surprising decision, the Ontario Court of Appeal in Lauzon v Ontario (Justices of the Peace Review Council) held that disciplinary dispositions from judicial complaints made by Crown Attorneys (or by any other member of the executive branch of government) should be lower than other dispositions because the vindication of such complaints is inherently dangerous to judicial independence and the separation of powers. Join us for a discussion with Professor Martin about the potential ramifications of this case on judicial independence and discipline.
