Pezim hearings to be televised

The British Columbia Securities Commission will allow certain television and radio stations to record and broadcast a hearing into insider trading and other allegations against Murray Pezim and other directors of Prime Resources Group (VSE) and subsidiary, Calpine Resources. The regulatory hearing, to begin July 9, is expected to run for as many as five weeks.

The Securities Commission denied a request by the Vancouver Stock Exchange to be granted standing as a party to the hearings, “because it would be unfair to the respondents, whose conduct is the subject of the hearing.”
