Head of Justice Centre taking leave after hiring investigator to trail Manitoba judge Carpay was placed on a leave of absence in July.“Surveilling public officials is not what we do.
We condemn what was done without reservation,” the Centre’s board said.Carpay’s admission that he hired someone to watch a judge overseeing a case in Manitoba was widely condemned and prompted formal complaints of misconduct.Chief Justice Glenn Joyal held a special hearing after learning a private investigator had been hired to find embarrassing information about him breaking public health regulations.Joyal has yet to rule on the case involving seven Manitoba churches, represented by the Justice Centre, who are challenging public health orders.
