Globe says OSC ordered to supply Bre-X papers Bre-X Minerals Ltd BXM Shares issued 219,103,330 Thu 23 Dec 99 In the News The Globe and Mail reports in its Thursday, Dec. 23, edition that a provincial court judge ordered the Ontario Securities Commission to hand over hard copies of one million pages of documents to lawyers defending John Felderhof, the chief exploration officer of Bre-X Minerals, against insider trading charges. The Globe's Allan Robinson writes that the judge ruled that the OSC's release to Joe Groia, Mr. Felderhof's lawyer, of 24 computer discs equivalent to 235 boxes of documents was not the same as receiving printed copies of the documents. Mr. Groia charged that the OSC was simply making what he described as a "massive data dump" just three months before the trial, which is scheduled to begin March 20. An OSC lawyer told the judge that printed copies of the relevant material had already been handed over. Mr. Groia countered that huge amounts of potentially vital information had never been disclosed in printed form, including boxes of documents relating to investigations of the property carried out by both Barrick Gold and Placer Dome.
