Our Work

Julia Wilkes and David Ionis successfully resisted two applications for judicial review on behalf of the Integrity Commissioner for the City of Vaughan. 

A municipal councillor challenged the Integrity Commissioner’s investigations and conclusions that the councilor had breached Vaughan’s municipal Code of Conduct by, among other things, making disparaging remarks about other members of Council and unlawfully sharing confidential material. The Divisional Court dismissed both applications and rejected all of the councillor's allegations, wholly accepting our team's submissions that the Integrity Commissioner’s investigative process was fair, her findings reasonable, and that she was free of bias.
