Toronto lawyer Rocco Galati says "there is no accountability" when the names of judicial officers facing complaints are kept secret. But the judicial council dismissed the case in 2015, and pointed to the fact that summaries of complaints are included in the annual reports. Legislation requires the attorney general to table the reports in the legislature before they can be made public. According to the judicial council report, four complaints about a single incident related to comments made by a judge after he sentenced an accused person. “In the annual report, the council has provided a summary of each complaint, the findings and the statement of the disposition in accordance with the legislation,” said Marilyn King.
