The Court of Appeal acknowledges the death of the Honourable Roy McMurtry, former Chief Justice of Ontario and President of the Court of Appeal.
Former Chief Justice McMurtry served as Chief Justice of Ontario for 11 years, until his retirement in 2007. He was appointed to the bench in 1991, where he served as Associate Chief Justice and then Chief Justice of the Superior Court before being appointed to the Court of Appeal as the Chief Justice of Ontario.
Former Chief Justice McMurtry was a giant whose vision and brilliance helped shape the province and country we live in today.
A trial lawyer for more than 15 years, he was elected to the Ontario Legislature in 1975 and immediately appointed Attorney General of Ontario, a position he held for a remarkable 10 years. During that time, he played a central and influential role in negotiating the Charter of Rights and Freedoms and patriating Canada’s constitution. He also oversaw many reforms in the justice system, including bilingualism in the courts.
Following his political career, he served as Canada’s High Commissioner to Great Britain before being appointed as a judge.
Former Chief Justice McMurtry was recognized with the Order of Ontario and named an Officer of the Order of Canada.
He will be missed.
