In November of last year, Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU) appointed retired Chief Justice MacDonald as an External Reviewer to determine whether the students who participated in an October 20, 2023 letter to the Deans of Lincoln Alexander School of Law (LASL) contravened the university’s Code of Conduct.

The letter appointing Mr. MacDonald was framed as a complaint by TMU against the participating students. It designated Mr. MacDonald as the decision-maker.

On Friday, former Nova Scotia Chief Justice J. Michael MacDonald issued a 169-page report on his conclusions.

After months of investigation, dozens of interviews with the letter’s signatories, and consultations with other stakeholders (including pro-Israel groups), Mr. MacDonald concluded that the letter was not anti-Semitic. He also found that the signatories did not violate the university’s Code of Conduct.

Accordingly, he recommended no sanctions against them.

UK trial:

Two persons were on trial for alleged criminal damage arising out of a six-day rooftop occupation of a factory manufacturing drones.

The factory was part-owned by Elbit UK, a subsidiary of Israel’s largest arms company. The Defendants believed that the factory manufactured drones that were to be exported to Israel for use in the OPT.

The defendants argued that, on the facts as they believed them to be, the activity of the factory amounted to a war crime and that their actions were necessary and proportionate to stop the loss of life and to protect property at immediate risk of drone bombardment in the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPT).

Following extensive legal argument over several days on the scope of defences, the trial Judge directed the jury to consider the common law defence of Necessity and the statutory defence of Protection of Property under Section 5(2)(b) of the Criminal Damage Act 1971.

The defendants were both acquitted.
