Trial Lawyers Association of BC wants to ask B.C. Premier David Eby questions about legal regulatory reforms but claims he is ducking responsibility; a judge will decide the matter Jan. 14.
A group of lawyers challenging legislation that dissolves the Law Society of BC says Premier David Eby is dodging questions leading up to a trial in October.
“Discovery would require Premier Eby to confront the baselessness of the government’s stated justification for this legislation,” added McConchie. The attorney general's office told Glacier Media it could not comment on the association's statement and reiterated its response in court. And, the lawyers asserted, because the legislation was passed in “unseemly haste” and the issues “strike at the core of our system of governance and justice, and the fact the premier is busy, and does not wish to answer questions under oath, is of little import when placed on those scales of measure.”
Under the new 17-member board, lawyers will retain a slim majority . Sharma has claimed the government is “stepping back” by discontinuing the attorney general from being on the new board while also appointing a smaller ratio of government appointees. The new board, however, might include notaries, paralegals and more public members .
