Alberta Judge Extends Order Freezing Separatist Lawyer's Assets in Dispute with First Nation A judge has extended an order freezing Jeff Rath's assets, a move that signals the courts are taking seriously allegations of misappropriation on a massive scale.
The order was made in connection to a long running legal dispute between Rath and the Tallcree First Nation. Rath's law firm was appointed as sole trustee for a trust holding $57.
6 million received from the federal government in 2017. However, his firm levied an $11. 5 million fee – 20% of the total – which was deemed excessive by a court and upheld on appeal.
