If I had heard of this problem, I would have denounced it loud and clear. I'm not aware of similar cases. I can tell you that, in Quebec, if it turned out that a person was at a disadvantage because they had chosen to exercise a constitutional right and a judge was involved, the judge would have a serious problem. I would personally take a complaint to the Canadian Judicial Council. This is totally unacceptable in a country that insists so much on saying it's bilingual.
