Public Comment by Professor Craig Scott on the May 21, 2021, Decision of the Canadian Judicial Council in the Complaint Against Justice David Spiro
Abstract
Via a letter to me as one complainant (and separate letters to others) and also via a press release for the public at large, the Canadian Judicial Council announced today its findings and disposition in the case involving Justice David Spiro of the Tax Court of Canada: https://cjc-ccm.ca/en/news/canadian-judicial-council-completes-review-matter-involving-honourable-de-spiro
It is an important outcome of the complaints lodged with the Canadian Judicial Council that the CJC process has led to introspection and remorse on the part of Justice Spiro as well as a clear and direct finding from his CJC colleagues that his conduct was not acceptable.
