Antique scales are simply office decoration for lawyer James DaCosta, but they are likely to be regarded as very real sales of justice by his visitors. DaCosta, 46, becomes top enforcement officer for the Ontario Securities Commission in September - the man in charge of keeping Bay Streeters in line. He's been a specialist in mining and securities law for many years.
