    Toronto's mayor to stay in power pending appeal of court ouster

    TORONTO, Dec 5 (Reuters) - Toronto Mayor Rob Ford will stay

    in power pending an appeal of a conflict of interest ruling that

    was set to kick him out of office, a Toronto court ruled on

    Wednesday.

    Madam Justice Gladys Pardu of the Ontario Divisional Court

    suspended a previous court ruling that ousted Ford. The appeal

    is set to be heard on Jan. 7.

    Ford, a larger-than-life character who took power on a

    promise to stop the gravy train at City Hall, has argued that he

    did nothing wrong when he voted to overturn an order that he

    repay money that lobbyists had given to a charity he runs.
