"I pause at this stage to thank the complainant’s and the respondent’s representatives for their conduct throughout the hearing. I would note, in particular, that the complainant was represented by two students, Julie Ward and Aaron Marchadour. Both provided a significant amount of their own personal time, as I understand it, on a pro bono voluntary basis and I wish to take this opportunity to applaud their service to the community. I encourage them to continue to be active in pro bono initiatives, throughout their respective legal careers."
