An elderly Vancouver lawyer has been disbarred by the Law Society of BC and ordered to pay more than $10,000 for misconduct during more than a dozen real estate transactions that could have facilitated money laundering.
A hearing panel of the Law Society Tribunal found that Lubomir Ihor Huculak “failed to make reasonable inquiries of his clients in the face of overwhelming, objectively suspicious circumstances,” according to a news release issued by the law society Wednesday.
The statement notes that Huculak has appealed the decision, and his disbarment may be stayed as a result.

Keeping Canadians safe is the Government of Canada’s top priority. We know that one Canadian killed by gun violence is one too many, which is why, two years ago, we banned over 1,500 types of military-style assault firearms.

The Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, today announced the introduction of new legislation to further strengthen gun control in Canada and keep Canadians safe from gun violence. Bill C-21 puts forward some of…

See below this judgment from 20 December 2022 on the merits and limitations of annual vacation entitlements.
SummaryOn 20 December 2022, the German Federal Labor Court (“BAG”) ruled that the entitlement to statutory minimum vacation is only subject to the three-year year statute of limitations if the employer has (i) previously informed its employees about their specific vacation entitlements and that the vacation will lapse if they do not take it and (ii) the employee then freely decides not to take them (See judgment – 9 AZR 266/20).

Lawsuit says Shein has grown rich by repeated copyright infringements in a ‘continuous pattern of racketeering’.China’s fast-fashion retailer Shein is facing a lawsuit that claims the clothing maker’s copyright infringement is so aggressive that it amounts to racketeering.
The filing this week, by three fashion designers in a United States court, claims that Shein is in violation of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, better known as RICO, a law originally crafted to prosecute organized crime.
“Shein has grown rich by committing individual infringements over and over again, as part of a long and continuous pattern of racketeering,…

The law, passed on Thursday, is the latest salvo in a push by governments around the world to force big companies like Google and Facebook to pay for news that they share on their platforms — a campaign that the companies have resisted at virtually every turn.
With some caveats, the new Canadian law would force search…
Parts of Quebec’s controversial language law that took effect Thursday could still be tweaked, according to the minister responsible for the French language.
“Of course, we will adjust during the next days and weeks to improve our way,” said Jean-Francois Roberge on Friday. “It’s important that in Quebec we know French is the only official language.”
Despite the City of Cote Saint-Luc poking fun at the requirements for service in English, Roberge says it’s up to common sense, not a burden of proof.
“We will rely on the good faith of Quebecers. We won’t ask people to bring a card…
