This story does not involve an episode of alcohol addiction or even alcohol abuse - at least not by any technical definition of those terms. Nor does it describe an incident in the United States. But it does involve an interesting situation where an attorney and alcohol indirectly led to adverse consequences for the attorney's client.
Saskatoon is the largest city in Saskatchewan, Canada. It has a population of approximately 260,600 residents, or Saskatonians. Sure the low temperature this Christmas is expected to drop to -27 degrees Fahrenheit. But pictures of the City are beautiful making me want to visit in the summer.
Perhaps it was the cold weather and the desire to be indoors without the need for travel that led to the following course of events. When Saskatoon attorney, Dean Mattison, asked his client to meet with him to sign a legal document, he picked Finn's Irish Pub at the Park Town Hotel as a nice social meeting place. There was just one problem: His client was not allowed to be in any bars.
His client was out on bail after being arrested on suspicion of drug-trafficking. As a condition of his bail, he was ordered to stay away from any bars or nightclubs, abstain from alcohol and cell phone use. He claims he reminded his attorny of that condition, but they kept their meeting anyway. It is claimed by witnesses that once at the pub, the client even ordered a beer and used a cell phone. The witnesses were none other than the police officers who had arrested the man earlier in the month, and were aware of the conditions of his bail.
The story is here.
