Panel adjourns to consider whether this massive tree kill has to be put in evidence at all. #cbcns

by Blair Rhodes via twitter 3/14/2018 5:57:27 PM
Disciplinary hearing resumes. Panel says there’s no need to introduce binder as evidence right now. But Rhyno says binder may be needed for his cross examination. But it may be submitted electronically, meaning the trees died in vain. #cbcns

by Blair Rhodes via twitter 3/14/2018 6:20:56 PM
As to the lengthy debate on the binder, panelist Gavin Giles asks “Di we have a problem in search of a solution or a solution in search of a problem?” #cbcns

Brooker says he checked on Sunday and all the mortgages he reviewed for the purposes of his practice investigation of Duane Rhyno are still active. #cbcns

by Blair Rhodes via twitter 3/14/2018 7:07:45 PM
Brooker says they were all five year mortgages (on the properties Rhyno was involved with), they’re all still active and he has seen no changes. #cbcns

Back @NSBS for the disciplinary hearing for Lower Sackville lawyer Duane Rhyno, whonis accused of professional misconduct and co duct unbecoming. The hearing was supposed to wrap today. It will not. #cbcns

The Society hasn’t finished its direct examination of Brooker. Rhyno’s lawyer, Brian Church, doesn’t want to begin his cross-examination today and have it split up. Panel agrees. #cbcns

by Blair Rhodes via twitter 3/16/2018 12:19:17 PM
Brooker taking disciplinary panel through real estate transactions Rhyno did. Most seem to be transactions directly involving Rhyno as opposed to sales in which he worked as a lawyer. #cbcns

by Blair Rhodes via twitter 3/16/2018 12:38:35 PM
Brooker says Rhyno didn’t always disclose his personal interest in some properties when he was handling transactions. #cbcns

by Blair Rhodes via twitter 3/16/2018 12:51:12 PM
While Rhyno has yet to testify, transcripts of what he’s said in previous interviews with @NSBS are being used in this disciplinary hearing. Rhyno has indicated he does intend to testify in his own defence. #cbcns

by Blair Rhodes via twitter 3/16/2018 12:52:58 PM
Brooker being questioned on whether Rhyno disclosed his personal involvement in properties to the mortgage lenders he was dealing with. Rhyno has maintained the brokers knew what he was doing. #cbcns

Questions on whether Duane Rhyno properly paid deed transfer tax on properties he was buying or selling. #cbcns

by Blair Rhodes via twitter 3/16/2018 1:52:57 PM
Brooker says he’d love to “put a bow” on his explanations of some of Rhyno’s financial transactions but he can’t because he couldn’t figure out all the dealings. #cbcns

by Blair Rhodes via twitter 3/16/2018 2:25:35 PM
Brooker reading from transcript of interview he did with Rhyno in which Rhyno admitted putting his own money into property transactions over and above what was coming from mortgage lender. #cbcns

Rhyno was facing human trafficking charges but those charges were withdrawn. He was convicted of breaching release conditions for having contact with woman who was the centre of the trafficking charges. #cbcns

by Blair Rhodes via twitter 3/16/2018 3:03:38 PM
Rhyno told Brooker that as soon as he learned jail time was a possibility, he notified @NSBS . Society has to protect lawyer’s clients when there’s a possibility they’ll be out of commission because of something like jail time. #cbcns

by Blair Rhodes via twitter 3/16/2018 3:05:24 PM
Brooker says as part of his search he was unable to come up with some documents. Faced resistance from some people who wanted no part of this investigation, which one person described as a “witch hunt”. #cbcns

So the RCMP catch an alleged impaired driver after this 911 call: "The concerned citizen called 911 after observing the driver of a Ford Escape swerving between lanes while drinking straight from a liquor bottle." Guy had three-times the legal limit. #cbcns
