Podcasts about attorney general david eby

Michael Mulligan from Mulligan Defence Lawyers joins us to untangle the intricate web of legal challenges sparked by personal entanglements within the courtroom. Imagine a scenario where a defence counsel's paralegal is romantically involved with the Crown counsel during a sexual assault trial. This isn't a plot twist from a legal drama, but a real-life case from Courtenay that led to a mistrial application, questioning the boundaries of professional ethics and the accused's right to know. We navigate through the complexities of this case, drawing parallels with precedents from Canada and the UK, and ponder the judge's authority to declare a mistrial post-conviction.Shifting our focus to Vancouver's courthouse, we confront the grim reality of operating in a neighbourhood plagued by violence and open drug use. Despite the Crown Counsel Association's plea for relocation, Attorney General David Eby's decision keeps the courthouse at its precarious location, raising concerns for all who walk its halls. The need for heightened security measures and the pressing call for addressing underlying social issues become glaringly apparent. As we wrap up, a seemingly trivial lawsuit over a $90 lens coating teaches us a valuable lesson about weighing the cost of legal battles. Michael Mulligan offers his perspective on exercising sound judgment before entering the legal fray, emphasizing the importance of picking one's battles wisely.Follow this link for a transcript of the show and links to the cases discussed.

Now brought to you by Scout Magazine.Today’s episode is big for us as we were beyond thrilled to have British Columbia’s Attorney General David Eby on the podcast to discuss the new restaurant and bar wholesale pricing parameters his office released last week. This new pricing, with restaurants and bars receiving 20-25% off what they currently pay, is something the industry has been clamouring for a long time now. Eby expounds on what the specifics are, how long they will be implemented, how this process unfolded and much, much more. This is big news for a restaurant community which has had a rough go of things because of COVID - 19. We cannot underscore how massive this is. These new pricing measures should help many establishments moving forward. July 31st will be a monumental day for the industry. Kudos to David and his team for getting this done. We hope you enjoy this one. David is fantastic. Also, we apologize for the kettle hissing with David's audio. The joys of virtual recording are never perfect. Sadly, we weren't able to fix this. ***Just a note. Jamie accidentally says that the Juneteenth march was on the 17th, when it was in fact the 19th.

Chapter 1 Hot question of the day It's @MikeSmythNews's

Premier John Horgan and Attorney General David Eby announced major changes to the ICBC, the largest since ICBC was created over four decades ago. One of the major changes announced this morning is a shift to a no-fault insurance. No-fault insurance will mean people involved in vehicle crashes can no longer sue each other for damages — except in cases involving court convictions for offences like negligence, street racing, impaired driving, as well as in cases of faulty manufacturing, botched repairs and the over-service of alcohol by a business. Guest: John Rice, President, Trial Lawyers Association of BC

The BC Government has announced a massive overhaul to ICBC. Attorney General David Eby says it's a big step toward putting out that dumpster fire and could mean big savings for drivers. Guests: Rob Shaw, Vancouver Sun Legislative –Columnist  David Eby, B.C. Attorney General 

ICBC has long been under scrutiny, and Attorney General David Eby joins us to share what ICBC will be doing to increase accountability. 

A businessman "connected to Asian organized crime" was allowed by a British Columbia government employee to buy part of a local casino, according to a confidential RCMP report obtained by Global News. Guest: David Eby, B.C. Attorney General

Attorney General David Eby has been long plagued by the ICBC file. What's the latest? He joins the show to explain. 

David Eby, Q.C. is the Minister of Justice and the Attorney General of British Columbia. He is also responsible for gambling policy, liquor policy, and the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia (ICBC). As a member of the BC NDP, he represents the riding of Vancouver-Point Grey, where he was first elected as a Member of the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia by defeating then-Premier Christy Clark.

On today's show I am joined by Conservative MP for North Okanagan - Shuswap Mel Arnold after he was elected to a 2nd term in last week's federal election. I chat with Acumen Law's Kyla Lee for our usual Monday morning chat. Topics today include the BC Supreme Court ruling against the Attorney General David Eby's limit on the number of expert reports allowed in auto insurance lawsuits and the law suit that was announced on Friday in Vancouver by 15 youths from across Canada who claim Ottawa has violated their fundamental rights by contributing to the warming planet. In the back half I start with the president of the BC School Trustees Association which met over the weekend and passed a motion urging the federal government to do more to combat youth vaping. And then to end off today's show I will be speaking with Blazers play-by-play announcer Jon Keen to break down a 1-1 weekend for the Blazers who were in Victoria for back to back games.

Chapter 1

A court judgment released Thursday by B.C. Supreme Court Chief Justice Christopher Hinkson ruled that the government limits on expert reports was unconstitutional because it violated the exclusive powers of a court's control over its processes. The NDP government is now scrambling to deal with the ramifications of a court ruling that struck down a key part of its auto insurance reforms and could blow a hole in the provincial budget. A cap set by Attorney General David Eby on the number of expert reports allowed in auto insurance lawsuits was unconstitutional because it violated the exclusive powers of a court to control its own processes. The immediate effect was an approximately $400 million financial hit for ICBC that Finance Minister Carole James has warned could swamp her thin $179-million projected budget surplus. David Eby will be my guest after the 12:30 news. But first, I'm joined by the leader of the BC Liberals, Andrew Wilkinson.   Guest: Andrew Wilkinson Leader, BC Liberals Guest: David Eby Attorney General of British Columbia

We'll come to our Science With Simi segment later because we have some breaking news we want to come to. The BC Supreme Court has ruled the BC government's new limit on medical expert reports in ICBC court cases is unconstitutional. Experts and expert reports are used to deal with the issues of damages and the government rules restricted parties to use one expert and report for claims less than $100,000; and up to three experts and reports for all other claims.  Court has overturned these rules set by Attorney-General David Eby. The ruling could have big implications for the bottom line at ICBC. The change was supposed to save in excess of $400 million while encouraging faster settlements.   Guest: Richard Zussman Global News Online Legislative Reporter

Chapter 1

Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer promised to hold a national public inquiry if elected. The B-C government called a public inquiry into money laundering last spring after three independent reports found illegal money was distorting the provincial economy, driving up house prices and fueling the overdose crisis. Attorney General David Eby says he's pleased money laundering has become an issue of debate during the federal election campaign. But at the meeting of the Union of BC Municipalities, Eby has been hearing that municipalities would like more help when it comes to dealing with the problem of money laundering. One of those who spoke to the Attorney General yesterday was Richmond Councillor, Kelly Greene. She joins me in studio now. Guest: Kelly Greene Richmond City Councillor

Unsurprisingly, David Eby (Attorney General of BC and MLA for Vancouver-Point Grey) is a very busy person. He agreed to forty five minutes on the mic, so I decided to ask some hard hitting questions about the new property taxes that will be impacting BC and Vancouver residents. The BC NDP passed a raft of new taxes designed to address two problems with our housing market: affordability and money laundering. David Eby and BC Finance Minister Carole James suggest that laundered money funded $5.3B in BC real estate purchases in 2018, contributing to BC’s staggeringly high home prices. However, there has been some criticism with the roll out of these new taxes, and as a BC homeowner, I had some questions myself. Are these taxes actually preventing foreign purchases? Can we accurately detect who the speculators are? In this episode, David Eby fields questions about the speculation tax, the school tax, and the foreign home buyer tax. He also talks about the public registry, and what it means for beneficial ownership.

Global News has learned the RCMP opened a file on B.C. Liberal MP Joe Peschisolido after confidential police informants alleged the veteran politician had been knowingly associating with Chinese organized crime figures through his former real estate law practice in Richmond, B.C.   Global News learned of these allegations while investigating whether Peschisolido's law firm was involved in secretive B.C. real estate development deals that involved an alleged Chinese “drug boss” in one case, and also a construction tycoon from China alleged to have been involved in a “transnational money laundering” probe in B.C. Lottery Corp. casinos. These transactions at Peschisolido's law firm involved so-called “bare trusts” — a controversial service that is legal, but has harmed B.C.'s housing market because the trusts can allow money launderers to anonymously invest in real estate assets, according to critics including B.C.'s Attorney General David Eby. Peschisolido has acknowledged that lawyers at his former law firm — which was taken over to be wound down by the B.C. Law Society this year — did complete bare trust deals. However Peschisolido has insisted these lawyers were independent contractors and that he never oversaw or personally completed any bare trust real estate deals.   Guest: Sam Cooper Global News Investigative Reporter

Chapter 1

This week’s episode is taken from a keynote speech recently delivered by Julie and her husband and professor of conflict resolution, Bernie Mayer, to the joint annual conference of the Ontario Association of Family Mediators and the Ontario Collaborative Law Federation. Julie and Bernie addressed an audience of mediators and legal professionals focused on Access to Justice – a sample of insiders – and presented them with two challenges: to consider Access to Justice as a threshold issue, and to examine how we handle conflict in our wider culture. They discussed the ways paternalism and a system of complex rules are holding the legal profession back, and how system insiders need to face and address systemic problems. The episode outro is provided by family lawyer Chris Arnold, whose Ottawa practice focuses on family mediation and collaborative family law; Chris was present for Julie and Bernie’s speech, and he reflects on the reception it got at the conference. In other news: last week, leaders of 50 justice organizations in British Columbia joined Attorney General David Eby and Chief Justice of British Columbia Robert Bauman to mark the signing of the Access to Justice Triple Aim, which will guide initiatives and reforms for making family and civil justice more accessible to British Columbians; a recent podcast from the Lawyerist podcast is all about access to justice, and includes an in-depth conversation with Professor Rebecca Sandefur; and finally, NSRLP announced last week that we have two new members joining our Advisory Board, Justice David Price, and Ms. Jana Saracevic – welcome both!

Chapter 1

High-end downtown retail businesses are complaining that they will be hurt by the effects of a crackdown against money laundering in the province. Attorney General David Eby fired off some tweets in response to the claim that a decrease in luxury retail sales would have an effect on the Vancouver economy as a whole.   Guest: David Eby BC Attorney General & NDP MLA for Vancouver-Point Grey

UBC professor Tsur Somerville and B.C. Attorney General David Eby join host Stuart McNish to discuss steps the provincial government is taking to address money laundering in real estate.

Listener discretion is advised. One of the discussions we're about to have may distress you. Chapter 1

The BC Government calls a public inquiry to look into widespread money laundering in the B.C. economy. BC Supreme Court Justice Austin Cullen has been appointed to head the inquiry. Premier John Horgan says the depth of the money laundering issue was far greater than his government ever thought and that is why the inquiry is coming. The government is asking for an interim report in 18 months, and a final report by May 2021. B.C.'s next election is scheduled for October 2021. The BC government has announced a public inquiry to get to the bottom of how money laundering has seeped into real estate, gaming and the luxury car market. Attorney General David Eby has appointed BC Supreme Court Justice Austin Cullen to lead the inquiry. Eby has given Cullen full power to order individuals to testify at hearings and force witnesses to turn documents over. Refusal to cooperate can result in contempt charges.

Chapter 1

At an “urgently called” press conference this morning, Attorney General David Eby announced a shocking finding from the ongoing report on money laundering in this province by  retired RCMP officer, Peter German… As part of the chapter released on Monday, German is advising the B.C. government that the RCMP team assigned to deal with anti-money laundering is more than three-quarters unstaffed. German found the only RCMP resources dedicated to anti-money laundering investigations within B.C. are provincially funded or operate under the provincial policing agreement. Guest: Dr Peter German Lawyer, former RCMP Deputy Commissioner, and author of the partially-released report

ICBC reported last week, that it has posted a net loss of $582 million for the first six months of the current fiscal year (April 1 to Sept. 30, 2018). According to a statement from the Crown insurer the loss is “reflective of the continued pressure ICBC is under from the rising number and cost of claims”. Attorney General David Eby went on to say that the primary reasons are higher bodily injury costs, as well as claims taking longer to resolve, which often result in higher claims costs. A key driver of these costs is a growing trend toward plaintiff lawyers strategically building the value of the claim – costs which have to be paid for by ICBC ratepayers. The Canadian Taxpayers Federation has spoken out about their concern over the fact that these losses at ICBC will lead to more money out of the pockets of British Columbians, who already pay approximately $1700 a year for car insurance. Guest: Kris Sims BC Director of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation
