DescriptionToronto's solicitor says Mayor Rob Ford won't be able to run in a by-election before 2014, if one is called to fill the position he could relinquish in the next couple of weeks following an Ontario court's ruling.

Anna Kinastowski stressed that it is just the opinion of the City of Toronto's legal team that Ford would not be able to run for mayor until 2014, adding the mayor is free to seek his own legal opinion.

She was commenting Tuesday morning during a session of Toronto council, a day after Ontario Superior Court Justice Charles T. Hackland found that Ford had violated provincial conflict of interest rules for municipal politicians and ordered his seat be vacated in two weeks.

Kinastowski was specifically addressing uncertainty around the wording in the decision delivered by Hackland.
