Disbarred lawyer Hong Guo loses forged cheque claim against Bank of Montreal. Supreme Court of B.C. Justice Neena Sharma rules there is insufficient evidence to prove the $887,562 cheque was forged, as part of an alleged $6.6m fraud scheme. Sharma's decision thwarts Guo's application for summary judgment, leaving her and her firm liable for repaying the bank, which has sued her via a counterclaim.
