The Law Society of Manitoba is hoping to disbar former University of Manitoba law dean Jonathan Black-Branch, whose behaviours–including filing “questionable” expense claims–were categorized as fraudulent in December. A University of Manitoba spokesperson said that the university is “now in the preliminary stages of pursuing legal action” to recover the funds. The Law Society argues that Black-Branch should be disbarred to protect the public and is additionally seeking $36K to cover costs associated with a recent disciplinary hearing and compensation for its investigation of written documents.
