Lawyer Clayton Ruby, who is representing Paul Magder, called it a 'technicality' that lets Rob Ford stay in the Mayor's chair.

In a release, Ruby says it's disappointing, and he believes there are serious errors of law in the judgment and he'll be asking the Supreme Court of Canada for leave to appeal to that Court.

He goes on to say, 'especially troubling is the finding that if a politician raises money from lobbyists and directs that money to his or her own personal interest, such abuse is beyond the reach of government oversight.  This raises the possibility of American-style Political Action Committee (PAC) fundraising, which should be of great concern to all Canadians.'
