Controversial Vancouver lawyer John Briner, who is already in several regulatory matters, has been named in a criminal case. On March 17, 2015, prosecutors filed a nine-count information sheet against him in the Provincial Court of British Columbia, citing him for contraventions of the B.C. Securities Act. They claim that Mr. Briner, 37, violated a ban the B.C. Securities Commission imposed in 2011.

The charges are contained in an information sheet Crown prosecutors filed at the Vancouver courthouse. They cite Mr. Briner for nine violations of the B.C. Securities Act, with the offence dates ranging from April 6, 2011, to Nov. 19, 2013. Each count carries a maximum of three years in jail and a $3-million fine.
