Jeffrey Rath, a lawyer involved in the Alberta separatist movement, has been reprimanded by the Law Society of Alberta for breaching professional standards, admitting to actions that were “clearly without merit” and caused unreasonable delays in a legal case against the federal and provincial governments. Rath, representing the Alberta Prosperity Project seeking a referendum on Alberta’s secession, faces ongoing litigation regarding the validity of this initiative, while rival group “Alberta Forever Canada” promotes remaining in Canada.
