In a footnote to the criminal case against disbarred Vancouver securities lawyer John Briner, court filings have revealed that he neglected to pay the law firm that represented him in the case. That firm, Harper Grey LLP, has obtained a court order to recover its legal fees. The order, handed down on Nov. 21, 2017, directs Mr. Briner to pay $15,974.

The order comes about 22 months after Mr. Briner pleaded guilty in the Provincial Court of British Columbia to a charge stemming from violations of an officer and director ban. He had received a five-year ban for aiding the pump-and-dump of an OTC Bulletin Board listing, Golden Apple Oil & Gas Inc. (The B.C. Securities Commission barred him from trading, serving as an officer or director, carrying out investor relations work, and from acting in a management or consulting role in the securities market. While subject to the ban, he remained a director of a number of entities, including his own law firm.)
