On leave from top court since February, Justice Brown defends himself in Friday statement after complainant shared story with media
A complaint about the conduct of Supreme Court Justice Russell Brown, who has been on leave with pay since Feb. 1, relates to an altercation at a hotel in Arizona.
After the event, he said in a statement through his lawyers, he and others from the event went to a lounge in the Omni Scottsdale Resort & Spa at Montelucia, which hosted the award gala before 125 guests. Justice Brown said he is going public because of a Vancouver Sun report in which Mr. Crump was quoted as complaining about Mr. Brown’s behaviour, and reporting him to local police.
“This incident has caused me embarrassment and created complications for the Court. I am hopeful that the Council will resolve this matter expeditiously,” his statement said. His absence became publicly known only after the court published a ruling on Feb. 17 with an asterisk beside Justice Brown’s name, indicating he participated in the hearing of the matter but not in the judgment. In response to media queries at that time, the court confirmed the absence.
