When the court is wrong, particularly in a matter where its own credibility is at stake, it must act to correct the situation in order to sustain its legitimacy. That it did so in this case is creditable, although it raises concerns about Justice Wagner's impartiality. Properly, I believe he should now recuse himself on the matter. I doubt that the court acted in response to a Twitter campaign. A lot of cases the SCC has considered have generated considerable public anger and controversy. The extraordinary decision to reverse course was in this case taken because the exclusion of LGBTQ intervenors in a matter fundamentally relevant to discrimination against members of the LGBTQ community was vastly contrary to the concepts of judicial impartiality and objectivity. After all, the SCC has to promote and protect the impartiality, and thus the legitimacy, of the Canadian legal system and its own role in it.
