Law Firm: Half-Assembled State and Beige-Coloured Boardroom

law firm: This was not mere misguided office banter, but rather hatred based upon religious, ethnic, national and racial identity. from the lawsuit of five CSIS staffers against their employer, filed on July 13, 2017. ; As John Phillips bustles into the beige-coloured boardroom clutching a thick wad of papers under his arm, he apologizes for the half-assembled state of his law firm's new offices, according to National Observer. Phillips is a burly 56-year-old litigator who with his bushy, snow-white beard, suspenders and steel-rimmed eyeglasses bears a certain resemblance to Saint Nicolas. The comments, insults and innuendo were intentionally hurtful and designed to isolate and undermine Emran among his colleagues. He also wears the pleased-as-punch expression of someone who's been taking victory laps of late. This past winter, Phillips also won a 141,000-judgment against the government and two senior RCMP officers over the harassment of Mountie Peter Merrifield the Department of Justice even agreed to fork over more than 800,000 to cover Merrifield's legal bills . Yet I'd to come to visit Phillips on this sunny morning in August, meeting in the downtown Toronto offices of Waddell Phillips PC, to discuss an even more compelling case he's representing five CSIS employees who are suing the spy agency for workplace discrimination based on their religion, race, ethnicity, gender and sexuality. As he plunks the documents down on the boardroom table, Phillips has good reason to be in high spirits he's one of Omar Khadr's lawyers who negotiated the reported 10.5-million settlement over CSIS and the federal government's Charter of Rights-abusing actions towards the youth, who spent 10 years in Guant namo Bay where he was frequently and brutally tortured.
