The Supreme Court of Canada will decide Thursday if it will hear Sen. Mike Duffy's appeal to launch a multi-million-dollar lawsuit against the Senate.
The top court will decide if Duffy's long legal battle to sue the Senate over the expenses scandal and the resulting fallout will continue, or if his legal options have come to an end.
Duffy was seeking $7.8 million in reimbursement and damages from the Senate, the RCMP and the federal government in relation to his November 2013 suspension from the Red Chamber. Duffy was suspended by his peers after the RCMP launched a criminal probe into his travel and living expenses — a decision the P.E.I. senator maintains violated his Charter rights.
