Council received a complaint from a lawyer working for the City of Toronto about the conduct of Superior Court Justice Theodore Matlow

20080001 - Council received a complaint from a lawyer working for the City of Toronto about the conduct of Superior Court Justice Theodore Matlow. The complaint concerned Justice Matlow’s participation with others to oppose a proposed development in their Toronto neighbourhood. The complaint was wide ranging and included objections to Justice Matlow’s role in leading the group that opposed the project, his meeting and corresponding with politicians, using his title “Justice” in connection with his activities, promoting news media involvement in the controversy, using intemperate language and inappropriate comment, and sitting on an application concerning street use in which the City was a party (the SOS Application).
