Frank Paul prosecutors forced to testify

The B.C. Supreme Court has ruled that the prosecutors who refused to criminally charge involved VPD members in the death of Frank Paul must testify before the Frank Paul Inquiry.

The Attorney General of B.C. had set terms of reference for the inquiry that included having the prosecutors examined for their role in the disaster that was Frank Paul's death and the subsequent investigation; however, he flip flopped and hired nationally recognized lawyers at the Inquiry to argue that the prosecutors need not testify.

When the Commissioner ruled against the Attorney General and said that the prosecutors had to testify, the AG appealed to the Supreme Court, which has now upheld the decision of the Commissioner.
