Judge rejects YK accountant’s request to halt disciplinary hearing

An NWT Supreme Court justice has rejected a request from Yellowknife accountant Biswanath Chakrabarty to halt a disciplinary hearing. The hearing, initiated by Chartered Professional Accountants NWT/Nunavut, stems from a complaint filed by the Town of Norman Wells regarding a 2015-2018 payroll and credit card review. Justice Annie Piché ruled the request was premature, noting that the disciplinary process must proceed before any potential appeals can be considered by the court.
