Ontario faces $3.4 million bill in second failed prosecution of Black judge over his Black advocacy
Ontario taxpayers are facing a $3.4 million legal tab in the latest disciplinary case against judge Donald McLeod over his advocacy work on behalf of Black Canadians. The $3.4 million legal bill includes more than $2 million billed by the lawyers retained by the OJC to present the case and more than $1 million for his defence. It also does not include the cost of the first OJC hearing over McLeod’s advocacy in 2018. Those fees align with the OJC’s guidelines on the maximum hourly rates that may be charged by presenting counsel. It is no doubt for that reason that Presenting Counsel presented the allegations in a meticulous manner, with voluminous documentation and submissions.”
