Hon. Allan Lutfy of the Federal Court to Retire
The Federal Court of Canada announced yesterday that the Chief Justice, the Honourable Allan Lutfy, will be resigning effective Sept. 30, 2011.
Prior to his appointment to the Federal Court, he acted as counsel for the McDonald Commission, the Restrictive Trade Practices Commission (State of Competition in the Canadian Petroleum Industry) and the Dubin Commission. He was also counsel for the Security Intelligence Review Committee and the Canadian Parliamentary Press Gallery
He was appointed to the Federal Court Trial Division in 1996, and became the Chief Justice on July 2, 2003.
Probably the thing he’ll value most is no longer seeing his name spelled “Lufty.”

I’ll admit, my first draft of this post auto-corrected his name to “lufty” as well. I’m glad I caught it.
