审判律师协会对新的不列颠哥伦比亚法律提出诉讼,要求总理宣誓作证。 Trial Lawyers Association sues over new BC law, seeks Premier's testimony under oath.

不列颠哥伦比亚审判律师协会正在对新的《法律职业法》(LPA)提出质疑,声称该法违宪,并将律师、公证人和律师助理合并为一个监管机构,从而破坏了法律独立性。 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. 总理大卫·埃比拒绝回答有关该法案的问题,导致该协会寻求法院命令强迫他作证。 Premier David Eby refuses to answer questions about the act, leading the association to seek a court order to compel his testimony. 法官将在1月14日决定 Eby是否必须回答宣誓后的问题。 A judge will decide on January 14 if Eby must answer questions under oath.
