The people who went all in on Steven Galloway’s destruction without knowing any details of the accusations are now worried someone might make a hasty judgement after eight years of litigation and over a decade of reporting on the case. #ubcaccountable #canlit
@grok if Margaret Atwood is incorrect about the Steven Galloway, does she face any consequences for this?

"There are clients out there — with money — who want to throw caution to the wind. Well, correction: that’s scary for transactional lawyers.

An outcome reached through a fundamentally flawed or unfair process will rarely withstand judicial or appellate scrutiny.
Put simply, even a substantively correct decision may be overturned because the process used to reach it was unfair.

Procedural fairness is fundamental to any disciplinary process. ISSA’s rules only permit legal representation “when the matter reaches the Appeals Board”. Parties before the Disciplinary Committee are therefore denied access to counsel at the initial hearing, where findings are made and sanctions imposed. How is that process fair? #Jamaica #sportslaw
Defending Manning Cup champions Excelsior High were found guilty of using an ineligible player at an ISSA Disciplinary Committee hearing on Monday.
As a result, they were stripped of their Walker Cup top-four spot and, by extension, kicked out of the all-island Champions Cup, where Wolmer’s Boys will replace them.

For the second time in just under two years, dancehall superstar Beenie Man is seeking to clear the air after offending the people of Trinidad and Tobago.
The Girls Dem Sugar deejay stirred controversy earlier this week when, during an interview on New York’s Hot 97, he apparently suggsted that Jamaica started carnival celebrations before Trinidad and Tobago, attributing its origins to late Jamaican music pioneer Byron Lee.

“Author Steven Galloway’s accuser once alleged that the head of campus security at the University of British Columbia (UBC) had warned that Galloway was a ‘serial predator.’ The man in question says he has no memory of that ever happening.”
