Attorney General Barry Penner has announced that five new Provincial Court judges have been appointed for the Lower Mainland, Okanagan and northern BC -- including Marguerite Church in Williams Lake .
Marguerite Church, who obtained her law degrees from the University of British Columbia, practices civil and family law with Cundari Seibel LLP in Kamloops, where she is an associate. A BC lawyer since 1998, she hears appeals under the Employment Assistance Act and regulations for the provincial Employment & Assistance Appeal Tribunal. Church’s appointment is effective August 29.
“These five new appointments will help reduce caseload pressures while we continue to work to balance the budget,” Attorney General Barry Penner.
Robert Hamilton and Robin Baird will serve in South Fraser/Surrey district, Mayland McKimm, QC, in Vernon and Roderick Sutton in Prince George.
As a result of these appointments, the chief judge has advised the attorney general he will assign one full-time judge equivalent to the criminal courts at 222 Main Street in Vancouver.
“I'm confident these qualified individuals will serve the Provincial Court well by contributing their significant legal expertise and experience to B.C.’s judicial system," Attorney General Barry Penner "I congratulate all of the appointees and thank them for taking on the important responsibility of being a Provincial Court judge."
