Those remarks are now the subject of formal complaints filed with the Justices of the Peace Review Council, the independent body tasked with investigating and disciplining JPs. “JP McNally’s comment is inexcusable no matter what his intention.”McDunnough declined to comment to the Star. A spokesperson with the Ontario Court of Justice would not confirm if he is still presiding over cases. She said a complaint received by the council is assigned to a complaints committee made up of a judge, a justice of the peace, and a lawyer or community member. As previously reported by the Star, the Ministry of the Attorney General has repeatedly failed to promptly table the annual reports after receiving them from the review council.
