Former University of Manitoba law dean Jonathan Black-Branch has been ordered to pay UManitoba $679K in a default judgment. In a lawsuit filed in August 2024, UManitoba alleged that Black-Branch had “intentionally and maliciously perpetrated fraud” during his employment. A ruling from a Court of King’s Bench of Manitoba disciplinary panel found that Black-Branch had “on many occasions breached his duty of integrity and has therefore committed professional misconduct and/or engaged in conduct unbecoming a lawyer.” Black-Branch has been ordered to pay a total of $679K, which includes court costs.
