Harvard lawyer Timmothy Kennish fingers four CPAO lawyers for fraud and negligence

Paul Farley, Robert Peck, Elizabeth Cowie, and Robert Gubbins have all been implicated in the Sone fraud and negligence by Council  member Timmothy Kennish.

Kennish has declared by email to me personally that the CPAO acted negligently in connection with the Sone fraud but qualified the assertion by claiming that the CPAO has no duty of care to the membership. 

A formal investigation has been requested to review the Sone fraud and negligence by the executive at the CPAO.

Stay tuned for updates.
