No, no, no. The civil lawsuit and the labour arbitration are two different processes. The SCC application arose from the civil lawsuit, in which I was trying to obtain a judicial determination of reasonable apprehension of bias of a judge. I brought a motion for reasonable apprehension of bias and it was never heard on its merits. I wanted the SCC to find that any such motion about bias must be heard because lack of even just apparent bias is centrally important to the legal system in a free and democratic society.; July 14, 2013 at 5:09 AM
