No, there isn't an explicit gag order on it. It does, however seem destined
to qualify for the "10 most underreported stories in Canada" list. Little
wonder, though - If the story has a basis of truth to it, anybody with the
resources to subvert (multiple) key positions of the BC legal system is
likely to have the ability to keep it as quiet as possible.

There has been some reporting of it, but the stories in the sun and
province have tended to focus more on the rumors spread by cram's opponents
that he is medically unstable, et. al. then they have on his allegations,
and those of his clients (one of whom he was jailed trying to assist).

There have, however been at least one decent story on this in the Georgia
Straight, and there was a relatively sympathetic editorial in the Vancouver
Sun (and an apparently vitriolic op-ed from the BC Law Society - one of the
institutions that cram is sueing)
