The government argues the raise is inappropriate amid economic strain, while judges claim it’s their right. Disputes escalated before trial: the judges’ association wanted the Supreme Court to handle it directly for speed, but the government insisted on Federal Court proceedings. The government’s suggestion to appoint a retired judge to avoid bias backfired, with the association calling it an indirect accusation of corruption. Ultimately, retired Ontario Court of Appeal judge Alexandra Hoy was appointed to preside—a move both sides accepted quietly. The main hearing is set for September, marking a historic clash between the judiciary and government over compensation. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
