Rob Ford Lawsuit
A lawyer in Toronto has started a class action against our colourful mayor. He is asking for $1.00 for each of the 5.2 million citizens in Toronto. He is citing bad faith and damage to the reputation of the citizens of Toronto. It is doubtful that he will receive certification for this lawsuit. While Rob Ford hurt his reputation, it will be difficult if not impossible to prove the City's reputation has be tarnished. The whole claim appears to be more of a publicity stunt then a real claim.
