Complainant makes a request to reconsider the disposition of a previous complaint.

20170011 - Complainant makes a request to reconsider the disposition of a previous complaint. The complainant does not raise any issue of conduct. He alleges the arbitrator and the judge had a prior relationship that caused bias. The complainant is of the view that the law was ignored and that the judge referred to a dictionary in a demeaning manner to define a word in a written judgment.

Disagreement with a judge’s decision is not an issue of conduct. The allegation regarding the conflict of interest is purely speculative and is not backed by substantive evidence. Any concerns should have been raised in court or on appeal.
