(March 8, 2008) A lawyer has advised Court Watch that it would appear that Justice Craig Perkins of the Newmarket and Barrie, Ontario courts has violated his own court order in which he ordered a publication ban on the name of witnesses at a trial in which he was the presiding judge. Legal sources sympathetic to Court Watch have forwarded copies of the published materials which clearly have been published in violation to a written court Order.
Information provided to Court Watch from legal circles would also appear to show that Justice Perkins may have himself been responsible for the violation of the court ordered publication ban and that the judge may be stepped outside of his jurisdiction as a judge by supplying information for publication which he clearly knew was not to be published. One of the firms which had published the banned information indicated that even though it was brought to the attention of Justice Perkins that there might be a mistake, that Justice Perkins indicated that it was his wish to have the banned content published. The actions of Justice Perkins further support the belief of many Canadians that many of our judges have become lawless as they see that they can do anything they want and get away with it because as many Canadians feel, the Judicial Council is failing to protect the public's interest and turning a blind eye to these lawless judges. By his actions to violate a written court Order, Justice Perkins is making a mockery of Justice in Canada and by his actions is harming the good reputation of those judges who are fair and just and bringing the administration of Justice into disrespute.
