Eleanor McCain, filed for annulment Jeff Melanson, filed to uphold marriage contract Harold Niman, lawyer representing Melanson who McCain’s lawyers are trying to disqualify Don Jack, lawyer representing McCain Gavin MacKenzie, lawyer representing McCain Jacqueline Mills, lawyer representing McCain Jonathan Lisus, lawyer representing Niman Paul Michell, lawyer representing Niman Justice Frances Kiteley, judgeThe lawyer representing the former head of the Toronto Symphony Orchestra possesses “confidential information” about a McCain Foods heiress which gives him an unfair tactical advantage as she fights to annul a marriage, her attorneys argued in court. Jonathan Lisus and Paul Michell, the two lawyers representing Niman, argued there is no evidence the high-profile lawyer has confidential information about McCain and that the only reason she wants to ban him is because she “fears” him. Melanson replied in court documents saying McCain, a singer and songwriter, was trying to “run a smear campaign” against him. On Wednesday, Melanson and McCain sat on opposite ends of the courtroom, never once looking at one another. But Lisus countered, saying it is McCain who is trying to gain the tactical advantage with the attempt to disqualify Niman.
