The Supreme Court of Canada will not hear the appeal of a former B.C. lawyer contesting a US$30 million judgment for allegedly masterminding a transnational securities fraud.
The top court’s decision comes years after the United States Securities and Exchange Commission obtained a default judgment against West Vancouver’s Frederick Sharp for the purported stock fraud.
