Masters' (Associate Judges') Motions for Licensing Candidates and Recent Calls – “The Anatomy of a Motion”
Associate Judge Jay Josefo
Associate Judge Josefo has been a Master (now Associate Judge) of the Superior Court of Justice (Ontario) for three years. Before his appointment, for 28 years, Associate Judge Josefo was a civil litigator, practicing primarily but not exclusively in Labour and Employment Law, and Human Rights law as it pertained to employment. From 1999 through to 2018, he was a Vice Chair of the Workplace Safety and Insurance Appeals Tribunal (WSIAT). For nine years ending in 2018, Associate Judge Josefo also served as a member of Council, thus a member of the corporate board, of the National Research Council (NRC), Canada’s leading science and technology agency operating under the aegis of the Ministry of Industry. He was an elected public school board trustee in the 1990s. Associate Judge Josefo readily acknowledges that his most arduous challenge in the past decade was serving as the founding co-Chair of an owners’ group, and then President, of his condominium corporation for five years, followed by remaining on that Board for two more interminable years!
