According to the article in the Georgia Straight, Cram won a case in
1985 where he was able to demonstrate a conspiracy between W.A.C.
Bennett and some senior officials. (Please excuse some minor errors
since I am relying on memory.)

One would think that with Cram's track record his claims would be
given more media scrutiny. Instead the whole battle has gone largely
unnoticed, and Cram is portrayed as a crank.
