More on Christie Appeal

BigCityLib might have scooped us on the original story, but we have the actual B.C. Law Society hearing decision denying Christie's appeal:

The Law Society of British Columbia
In the matter of the Legal Profession Act, SBC 1998, c.9
and a hearing concerning

Douglas Hewson Christie

Applicant

Decision of the Benchers
on Review

Take THAT BCL!

Interestingly, we also received the following message regarding our article:

Word is that the Lawyer for the Damned is going to take this to the Supreme Court of Canada on the grounds that Societies that regulate the standards of conduct and honesty for lawyers are unconstitutional.

Money's no object.

Don't know how much stock we place in this, but if it's true we hope he's just as successful as his buddy Paul Fromm was in his efforts to get the Supreme Court to hear his case.

UPDATE: Ya, the part about Christie taking his appeal to the Supreme Court? Turns out to be a joke. We are both amused and, somewhat, disappointed. It would have been a hell of a show.
