A Sudbury contractor, David Murray, remains entangled in a long-standing legal battle over more than 40 counts of alleged fraud, despite a judge's decision to stay the charges due to violations of his Charter rights.
Murray spent October 31 in court hearing further submissions on the charges, which are currently meaningless due to an appeal. The case involves allegations of defrauding clients of $800,000.
Justice Sharon Murphy has ruled that the entire case has taken too long.
The proceedings continue, with Murray's case being a potential example of a lengthy and complex legal process.
