Reflection on the passing of Justice Eugene Fedak

Reflection on the passing of Justice Eugene Fedak

It is with great sadness and fondness that we reflect on the passing of Justice Eugene Fedak.One memory we have was when he presided over the precedent setting case I argued before him with a jury by the name of McIntyre v Grigg, McMaster Student Union.

The trial was a long civil action with many interesting and challenging issues.He handled it all with such impeccable Judicial manners, erudite legal thinking and guidance combined with humour and kindness.He will be greatly missed – the quintessential trial judge.
