civil lawsuits: But the councillor, who also works as a full-time senior planner with the City of Toronto, will not be taking home his full salaries because a judge has ordered his wages garnished in one of six civil lawsuits brought by investors against him and his nightclub, which was shut down in 2012 after police found it was operating without a license, according to The Toronto Star. On Tuesday, Ashby lawyer Murray Maltz successfully argued that his campaign finance reports were not accepted due to a technicality. Ashby will return to council with a clean slate after the town integrity commissioner cleared him of two separate Code of Conduct complaints last week. The substance of the law was complied with, Maltz told the Star. Once Ashby refiles his completed financial reports this week, he will automatically be reinstated to his seat, said Ajax town clerk, Martin de Rond. He acted in good faith and his mistake was inadvertent … He didn’t do anything improper and the judge agreed.
