A former justice of the peace, who was fired for sexually harassing women at the Whitby courthouse, should not have his $770,000 legal bill from his discipline proceedings covered by public dollars, a discipline panel has ruled. In that case, he was suspended for 10 days without pay and ordered to take gender-sensitivity training. This was the second discipline panel to decide whether Massiah should be compensated in relation to sexual harassment at the Whitby courthouse. At the same time, the court upheld the findings of judicial misconduct and the penalty of termination. A new panel, chaired by Ontario Court Justice Diane Lahaie, was then constituted to decide the compensation question.
