Mayor Ford is finally clear form the fundraising issue that has dogged him since 2010. The Supreme Court of Canada said today (Thursday, June 20, 2013) it will not give leave to appeal the matter as requested by Toronto lawyer Clayton Ruby. Mr. Ruby was acting on behalf of a client who launched litigation to have the mayor removed from office over $3150 raised for his football foundation. The court’s refusal was anticipated since it would have to have found important public issues in the case that might affect other jurisdictions. If it had granted the appeal the court would have left is deliberations hanging over the 2014 municipal election.
