Bio/Historical Note: Willard Zebedee "Bud" Estey was born in 1919 in Saskatoon,. He was the son of Muriel Baldwin James Wilfred Estey, a puisne justice of the Supreme Court of Canada. He studied at the University of Saskatchewan, earning a BA in 1940 and an LLB in 1942. He joined the armed forces and fought during World War II, including acting as a Canadian Observer with the US Armed Forces during the battle for Okinawa. Upon returning to Canada Estey attended Harvard Law School and received an LLM in 1946. From 1946 he taught at the U of S, and then moved to Ontario the following year to practice law. In 1973 Estey was appointed to the Court of Appeal for Ontario and two years later was named Chief Justice of the High Court of Justice of Ontario. He became Chief Justice of Ontario in 1976. Estey was appointed to the Supreme Court of Canada in 1977 to replace Wilfred Judson. He drafted the first major judgment on the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, the Skapinker judgment, in 1984. That same year the U of S awarded an honourary Doctor of Laws degree. Estey retired from the Supreme Court of Canada in 1988. He was appointed a trustee of the Stanley Cup in 1984 on the nomination of Red Dutton, succeeding Clarence Campbell. In 1985, he was appointed as Commissioner of Inquiry into the collapses of the Canadian Commercial Bank and the Northland Bank, both of which had been closed by the Canadian government that year. Estey’s report, Report of the Inquiry into the Collapse of the CCB and Northland Bank, was issued in 1986. In 1990 he was made a Companion of the Order of Canada. Estey died in Toronto in 2002.
