B.C. billionaire Ruby Liu, who is seeking to acquire more than 20 Hudson’s Bay leases, has been instructed by the chief justice of the Ontario Superior Court to refrain from directly contacting the judge overseeing the case, following correspondence the chief described as “inappropriate.”
The chief justice wrote to Liu on July 15, saying that attempts by any party in an ongoing case to contact the presiding judge directly are “inappropriate,” and warning that if she continued, the messages would be considered “harassing communications.”
