Sen. Mike Duffy has lost his bid to overturn a court decision blocking him from suing the Senate for millions of dollars over his suspension without pay.
The Ontario Court of Appeal upheld a 2018 lower court ruling that said the Senate’s decision to suspend Duffy is protected by parliamentary privilege.
Duffy’s lawyer, Lawrence Greenspon, said the ruling effectively means the Senate is above the law. He said Duffy will consider seeking leave to appeal it to the country’s highest court.
