Rick Billington Q.C. wins Fraudulent Preference Trial

Rick Billington, Q.C. was successful counsel in defeating the action. It went to trial before the Hon. Justice P. Jeffrey in December, 2018. The trial was a claim by a lawyer against a former client, alleging that the transfer of a property the client participated in was fraudulent. Rick Billington, Q.C. said “Our argument was that the plaintiff lawyer abused his duties to his client by accusing her of fraud when he had privileged information that contradicted his claim. We are gratified that Justice Jeffrey found for our client, one of the defendants, who had done nothing wrong. Our client is particularly gratified that enhanced costs were awarded against the plaintiff.”
