Northwest Territories, Canada
The following excerpt is from McSwain v. Northwest Territories (Justice) (1), 2009 NWTHRAP 2 (CanLII):
A rule prohibiting conflicts-of-interest must prevent only real conflicts-of-interest or reasonable potential conflicts-of-interest; it must account for the degree of likelihood of an abuse of power; it must prohibit reasonable apprehension of bias. (Brossard v. Quebec (1988) 10 C.H.R.R. D/5515 at para 41023 (S.C.C.) per Beetz J). Does the Code of Conduct do this?
