WINNIPEG Complaints have been filed and probes are underway after a private investigator was hired to tail a Manitoba judge. On Monday, Court of Queen’s Bench Chief Justice Glenn Joyal revealed he’d been followed from the law courts to his home by a private investigator trying to catch him breaking public health orders. The firm doing the surveillance was hired by the Alberta-based Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms – the group representing seven Manitoba churches who are challenging the province’s public health orders. Joyal is presiding over the case. Ottawa-based human rights lawyer Richard Warman has filed complaints with the Manitoba and Alberta law societies, calling on them to investigate three lawyers involved in the case.

Let’s start with this baseline assertion: there is no justification.
It was revealed on Monday that a firm representing seven Manitoba churches that are challenging the constitutionality of the province’s public-health orders hired a private investigator to tail the judge who is adjudicating that case. Despite the man responsible for the hiring calling it simply an error in judgment, this egregious assault on the judicial process must be denounced in the strongest possible terms and should be followed by corrective action that reflects the gravity of the offence.
