Michael Bolton denies B.C. Law Society allegations.
His career spans decades, multiple borders and thousands of proceedings — many involving significant, high-profile cases at all judicial levels, including the Supreme Court of Canada.
Still, like all lawyers, he was the subject of a periodic Law Society compliance audit, conducted in July 2019. The citation also claims he knew or should have known freezing orders were in the offing and Z, K, F, and V had entered guilty pleas in the U.S. to money laundering and conspiracy to distribute wholesale quantities of misbranded prescription drugs for the foreign market.Article content
Between approximately September 2016 and January 2020, on behalf of one or more clients or related parties — identified only as W, P, and O — Bolton again is accused of engaging in activities that assisted or encouraged dishonesty, crime or fraud by allegedly permitting his trust account to receive or disburse funds in circumstances where he ought to have known of certain circumstances.
Adjudicator LeBlanc noted: “The Law Society says that it is a critical consideration that has provided little, if any, evidence of the risks or harms asserted and that in the absence of such evidence, there is nothing that takes the present circumstances beyond the ‘public scrutiny, embarrassment and intrusion on privacy that is necessarily a part of’ these disciplinary proceedings.
