Removed Elliot Lake mayor ordered to pay almost $90K in court costs

Former Elliot Lake mayor Chris Patrie is on the hook for almost $90,000 in legal expenses incurred by the city's Integrity Commissioner in Patrie's conflict of interest prosecution.

Patrie's lawyer, Peter Berlingieri, argued that no costs should be awarded to the Integrity Commissioner and that the penalty imposed on Patrie should be enough punishment for his violations of the Municipal Conflict of Interest Act while he was a councillor. The Integrity Commissioner submitted that Patrie's conduct throughout the process of his hearing was obstructive, and unreasonable and caused Elliot Lake taxpayers considerable expense as a result.
