Trial Lawyers Association sues over new BC law, seeks Premier's testimony under oath.

The Trial Lawyers Association of BC is challenging the new Legal Professions Act (LPA), claiming it's unconstitutional and undermines legal independence by merging lawyers, notaries, and paralegals under one regulator. Premier David Eby refuses to answer questions about the act, leading the association to seek a court order to compel his testimony. A judge will decide on January 14 if Eby must answer questions under oath.
