Matthew 7: 1-2
All right, all right, the biblical reference is not strictly on point but is a bit of cheek. What else could you use in reference to a story about a judge?
I contemplated necro-posting this to a 2015 thread that discussed his appointment to the SCC but that thread was locked. I didn't find any reference on these means to the incident that led to former Justice Brown taking leave from the bench, nor do I recall noting it previously in the media.
And in anticipation (pause for individuals who will reference Rocky Horror Picture Show) of comments (pro and con of the current PM) of an appointment to this vacancy on the SCC. I'll provide a link to the process.
Russell Brown steps down from Supreme Court, halting probe into misconduct claim
Canadian Judicial Council began looking into misconduct claim linked to incident in U.S.
Russell Brown announced Monday he's stepping down as a justice of the Supreme Court of Canada effective immediately — a move that comes after the Canadian Judicial Council (CJC) began probing a claim of misconduct directed against Brown related to an incident in the U.S.
Brown's decision to step down from Canada's top court means the CJC's investigation of an alleged alcohol-fuelled incident in Arizona will come to an end without any sort of public report on the matter.
Under the federal Judges Act, the council has a duty to investigate complaints made against federally appointed judges. Now that Brown has resigned, the council said, that work will stop.
Brown has been on leave for months since reports surfaced that the judge got into some sort of confrontation with patrons at a high-end Scottsdale-area resort at the end of January.
While accounts of the incident differ, it has been established that there was some sort of fight between Brown and a man at the resort, Jon Crump, a U.S. Marine veteran who was at the resort with a group of friends.
