The Canadian Bar Association ("CBA") intervened in B.C. Supreme Court proceedings challenging the constitutionality of new legislation changing the regulatory framework governing legal service providers. The court accepted the CBA's submissions on the nature and significance of the independence of bar, and recognized a new unwritten constitutional principle protecting independence of the bar. 

McCarthy Tétrault assisted the CBA with a team led by Connor Bildfell that included Lindsay Frame (Litigation).
