CONTEMPT
CHARGES
STAND

Lawyer Tom Berger has
failed in his attempt to have
contempt charges against 29
Lenkurt demonstrators dis -
missed because of irregular-
ities.

Berger, one of the three la-
bour lawyers defending the
29 demonstrators, charged
that Attorney-General Robert
Bonner, QC, was technically
in contempt of court himself
because of technical irregu-
larities in launching the ac-
tions.

Mr. Justice J. Macdonald
dismissed Berger’s objections
and ruled that the 29 persons
accused must stand trial. The
trial date has been set for
June 20. Mr. Justice Mac-
donald also dismissed several
other technical objections on
the grounds that as the pro-
ceedings were for criminal
contempt, court rules did not

apply and that the court had

jurisdiction to proceed with
the attorney-general’s action.

Three IWA members are
among those charged with
contempt.
