Description

August Toronto P.C. Williams was questioned by John Damien's lawyers in an examination for discovery relating to the civil suit launched by Damien concerning his dismissal by the Ontario Racing Commission in 1975 due to his sexual orientation. Damien's lawyers posed more than 200 questions to Williams, who replied "no comment" to each. The lawyers subsequently asked a court official to rule whether Williams was required to answer the questions; the official did not hand down a ruling for more than nineteen months.
