Here is the news paper account... Both sides claim victory The Leader-Post Saturday, November 02, 200 While prominent Saskatoon lawyer Silas Halyk may have been negligent, a six-person civil jury on Friday found his actions wouldn't have affected the outcome of a former client's criminal case. "We are delighted that he successfully defended the case which was being made against him and we are happy with the result,'' said Halyk's lawyer Gordon Kuski. Doreen Fischer, 65, sued Halyk, who represented her at a theft trial in 1990 and her subsequent appeal. At the 1990 trial, a judge ruled Fischer, a registered nurse, had participated with another employee at a Swift Current seniors' home in a plan to increase their salaries without their employer's approval. Fischer has maintained that she is not guilty of the theft. During the eight-day civil trial, Fischer alleged that Halyk was negligent in his duties to represent her as defence counsel. Kuski said Fischer needed to prove two things during the civil trial: not only that Halyk was negligent in the manner in which he conducted her defence, but also that his negligence caused her to be convicted.
