Top Lawyer Says
Going to Court
Too Costly!
A
N
OTTAWA lawyer, George Hunter,
says going to court has become so
expensive and time-consuming that Ontario
residents with legal problems can no
longer turn to the justice system.
According to Metro Toronto, the lawyer
blamed governments, lawyers and the judiciary
for the situation, claiming it is “a
singular failure within our society.” He
thinks the province’s law society can do
several things to help fix the problem.❏
TORONTO CITY WORKS COMMITTEE PROPOSES
TO IMPOSE GARBAGE FEES ON CONDOS
TO REDUCE garbage collection from condominiums, the Toronto Works Committee
is proposing a plan that would impose fees on condos that fail to reduce their
garbage going to dump sites, according to Metro Toronto newspaper.
This proposal was still to be approved by City Council, as of the end of June.
The ACMO External Affairs Committee is monitoring this situation and the impact
of garbage legislation on the condominium industry, Andy Wallace, chair of
the committee, reports.
