This time it didn’t work. Mohandas Gandhi would be proud — civil disobedience won another round in B.C. Supreme Court and the rule of law was defined as much more than simply law enforcement. Justice Douglas Thompson’s refusal to extend a one-year injunction restricting protests against logging in the Fairy Creek watershed emphasized the impartial status of courts and civil rights are equally important societal values. A top lawyer involved in the case, Steven Kelliher said the injunction raised serious concerns and should never have been issued: “The courts get drawn into an enforcement role, stepping aside from their adjudicative role that we expect them to have, and they run the risk that they are going to be tainted both by the politics of the day — which is significant when there is large public disagreement and civil disobedience — and they are also going to be tainted by the manner in which the injunction was enforced.” Oct 4 2021 Ian Mulgrew: Dirty money, legal deadlines tough on police Prosecutors “spend a good deal of time answering basic questions from law enforcement about commercial crime, how to prepare reports to Crown counsel, and questions on the fundamentals of commercial investigations.” The inquiry into money laundering must wrestle with the nettlesome issue of the inability or failure of police to provide admissible evidence to support more than a handful of dirty-money prosecutions. Many witnesses addressed the thorny problem during the commission’s hearings, and proposed solutions included creating an expensive new agency to tackle economic crime or beefing up the current response — aggressive use of the self-financing civil forfeiture office. Senior Crown counsel — who approve charges and shepherd money-laundering and proceeds-of-crime cases through trial — were surveyed by the commission in November and February and their responses are contained in an overview report that has been filed as an exhibit. Oct 4 2021 Ian Mulgrew: Casino cash tied to property-backed loans ″(I am) a member of a private lending business serving a clientele with diverse needs. Sometimes, I lend my money. At times, I lend my associates’ money.” Paul King Jin, aka “Brother Bao,” has failed to stop the release of a report prepared for the inquiry into money laundering alleging he provided millions to gamblers who pledged property to secure loans. The 653-page document titled, “Paul Jin Debt Enforcement Against B.C. Real Estate,” details more than 20 big-time gamblers accused of owing massive debts to him as well as possible competitors — suspected loan sharks and private lenders. Jin was granted participant status at the two-year-old inquiry last Nov. 5 out of fairness because he was barred from casinos starting in 2012 and was accused of being a major supplier of the tide of cash that swamped the gaming facilities from roughly 2010 to 2015. He was also a target of the 2015 RCMP E-Pirate investigation that focused on a Richmond money service business believed to be supplying the currency. Jin was not charged. Oct 4 2021 Ian Mulgrew: Is challenging new B.C. court pronouns policy OK or akin to hate speech? Resolution before the Law Society of B.C.’s annual general meeting poised to put a contentious issue through the gender blender. In a profession still using M’Lord and M’Lady, some B.C. lawyers have balked at new court rules that ask participants in legal proceedings which pronouns they, he or she prefers. But the brush fire of controversy sparked earlier this year by the changes has kindled into a blaze with a resolution before the Law Society of B.C. annual general meeting calling for a debate on the directives about consideration for gender differences. In a world of gay pride parades and respect for transgender individuals, the Canadian Bar Association-B.C. Branch denounced the motion as akin to hate speech. “This is not a benign resolution,” president Clare Jennings maintained in a message to the roughly 7,000 provincial members of the lobby group. Sep 17 2021 Cullen inquiry: Whistleblower threw away evidence, commission hears He was proud of what he did even though it meant breaking the law — he was “shining a light on a dark issue.” Former head of anti-money-laundering programs and whistleblower Ross Alderson was savaged in cross-examination Friday by lawyers for gaming firms and executives he impugned. The man, whose accusations about dirty money and leaks to the media sparked an outcry that helped launch the inquiry into money laundering, was defensive and dissembled trying to explain his own acknowledged misconduct. In an online appearance from Australia, Alderson testified he made an anonymous complaint in 2019 against former B.C. Lottery Corp. executive Robert Kroeker — a complaint found to be unsubstantiated. “That’s a technical term,” the former Australian cop snapped. “There was no one there to corroborate what I said, so it was unfounded.” POSTS NAVIGATION 1 2 … 111 Next ARCHIVES * October 2021 * September 2021 * August 2021 * July 2021 * June 2021 * May 2021 * April 2021 * March 2021 * February 2021 * January 2021 * November 2020 * October 2020 * September 2020 * August 2020 * July 2020 * June 2020 * May 2020 * April 2020 * March 2020 * February 2020 * January 2020 * November 2019 * October 2019 * September 2019 * August 2019 * July 2019 * June 2019 * May 2019 * April 2019 * March 2019 * February 2019 * January 2019 * December 2018 * November 2018 * October 2018 * September 2018 * August 2018 * July 2018 * June 2018 * May 2018 * April 2018 * March 2018 * February 2018 * January 2018 * December 2017 * November 2017 * October 2017 * September 2017 * August 2017 * July 2017 * June 2017 * May 2017 * April 2017 * March 2017 * February 2017 * January 2017 * December 2016 * November 2016 * October 2016 * September 2016 * August 2016 * July 2016 * June 2016 * May 2016 * April 2016 * March 2016 * February 2016 * January 2016 * December 2015 * November 2015 * October 2015 © 2022 Ian Mulgrew Powered by wpzita WordPress Theme
