Complaint filed concerning judge's conduct.
During a trial in December 2007, when it was disclosed that the complainant was living with HIV and hepatitis C, the presiding judge ordered the complainant to be masked or testify electronically from another courtroom. The Canadian HIV/AIDS Legal Network and the HIV& AIDS Legal Clinic of Ontario (HALCO) lodged a formal complaint with the Ontario Judicial Council in response to what they termed "shockingly discriminatory thinking and practice".
