“As a liar, Singh demonstrated the skill of a five-year-old.”
A recent Ontario court decision vividly describes how bad it can be for a trusting family to become entangled with a crook. And for a trial judge who must listen for years, with endless patience, to that crook. It is a cautionary tale both for those considering buying a used car, and for those who dream of sitting on the bench: Pirbhai v. Singh (c.o.b. Sarwan Auto Sales) [2011] O.J. No. 910. It reminded me again how lucky we are in our clients, and even in our opponents.
