Judges’ ages threaten court cases: Two already adjourned over law limiting service on bench past 75, raising fears of a crippled system

“Many people wouldn’t know whether their judges were over 75 or not. They don’t go and check their bios,” Galati said yesterday.

In an order issued yesterday, Lutfy instructed both the applicant and respondent, Citizenship and Immigration Canada, to file motions and a notice of constitutional questions, if any, concerning the jurisdiction of a deputy judge over the age of 75. The case will be heard Sept. 30.
