In finding Rob Ford guilty of violating conflict-of-interest legislation, a Superior Court judge “did the opposite of what the law demands,” the mayor’s lawyer contends.
In a factum filed in divisional court Wednesday Alan Lenczner says Justice Charles Hackland made several errors of law, warranting a reversal of his November ruling. The judge ordered Mr. Ford out of office after finding he contravened the Municipal Conflict of Interest Act (MCIA) by voting on a matter concerning $3,150 in donations to his private football foundation.
