A Thunder Bay justice of the peace will face a hearing about her professional conduct.
Anna Gibbon of the Ontario Court of Justice will be before the Justices of the Peace Review Panel starting Monday with another week scheduled for July 5-9.
Gibbon is accused of acting as an advocate for her son after he was charged with failure to yield in February of 2019.
According to the notice of the hearing back in April, Gibbon invited judicial officers assigned to preside over her son’s matter to her house for dinner.
The hearing goes onto say that Gibbon allegedly attempted to coerce of intimidate a court services supervisor to withdraw the case against her son by demanding the supervisor speak with the prosecutor.
If the complaint against Gibbon is upheld, she could be face a number of punishments including a warning or reprimand, an apology or further education, a suspension with or without pay or a recommendation to remove Gibbon from office.
Currently, Gibbon has been reassigned to a court outside of Thunder Bay.
