The advice related to the waiver of solicitor-client privilege in connection with an affidavit from her prior solicitor, Blake Hamm. [ 2 ] In their notice of appeal, the respondents say that the application judge’s decision was contrary to the evidence and the weight of the evidence, and that his conduct gave rise to a reasonable apprehension of bias. [ 3 ] In our view, there is no merit to this appeal. [ 4 ] The appeal is therefore dismissed, with costs in the sum of $1,000, payable by the respondents to the Public Guardian and Trustee of Manitoba within 60 days. JA JA
