Peter Allard, whose $30 million donation resulted in UBC renaming its law school in his name, is taking the university to court over an issue regarding the conferring of law degrees.

Vancouver lawyer Peter Allard, whose $30-million donation to UBC resulted in the university renaming its law school the Peter A. Allard School of Law, says he was stunned to learn that name would not appear on all law degrees conferred by the university.

Allard says he met with Ono, who promised that he would look into the matter, but that nothing was done. In his ruling on the case, arbitrator Neil Wittman noted that the “most striking impression” in the case was that there was not any significant dispute as to the evidence and the witness statements and oral testimony did not reveal any serious issues of credibility.

“It follows that the claimants’ claim against UBC is dismissed,” the arbitrator said in the September ruling. Neither Allard, who graduated from UBC law in 1971 and practiced law until 1993, nor his lawyer could be reached for comment.

When the Allard brothers donate money, strings are attached. Tony's political donations demanded JustinTrudeau comply to his wildfirstcanada pledge (aka: no aquaculture, but trophy hunting salmon is just fine) Now brother Peter makes his demands...

You see, the billions don’t do it, so maybe recognition indefinitely can do it? No, we are never satisfied. That’s just how it is.

Can you say ,'Quid Pro Quo '?

A little narcissistic 🙄

Should’ve had a lawyer read over the fine print.

Note to Allard - you can’t take it with you & you like everyone else will die.
