Sit LSO treasurer in front of challengers for the second term after the CEO wage scandal is paid

Last week the LSO announced the two challengers, the Benchers Murray Klippenstein and Stephen Rotstein. Klippenstein was nominated by the Benchers Ryan Alford and Louis Gagnon, while Rotstein was nominated by the Benchers Jennifer Gold and Michael Radan.

“While the tradition of the opinion is that the treasurer is usually re -elected for a second term by acclamation, these are extraordinary times,” said Gold to Litigation. “Open discussion and debate about the future of the Law Society are essential.

“We need a different vision for the call, which focuses on greater accountability and transparency,” she added. “I believe that Stephen Rotstein is committed to these values ​​and that the convening will lead to a meaningful change.”

Alford also found the convention that sitting treasurer came unchallenged in their second conditions.

“Under these circumstances, I decided to appoint Murray Klippenstein because Peter Wardle has to be held accountable for his role in the current scandal on the LSO so that we can restore confidence in our regulatory authority,” said Alford in an e -mail.
