Let’s start with this baseline assertion: there is no justification.
It was revealed on Monday that a firm representing seven Manitoba churches that are challenging the constitutionality of the province’s public-health orders hired a private investigator to tail the judge who is adjudicating that case. Despite the man responsible for the hiring calling it simply "an error in judgment," this egregious assault on the judicial process must be denounced in the strongest possible terms and should be followed by corrective action that reflects the gravity of the offence.
