Findings — machine-extracted (anthropic-batch:claude-opus-4-8); verify against the decision

While appearing as counsel in BC Supreme Court on April 22, 1994, Mr. Cram conducted himself in an intemperate and disrespectful manner. A discipline citation was authorized and an interim order barred him from appearing before any court pending disposition. On July 8, 1994 he was convicted of criminal contempt of court, fined $10,000 and prohibited from practising law until July 8, 1995. He paid the fine, ceased practising, and voluntarily ceased Law Society membership on January 1, 1995 for non-payment of fees. On July 8, 2004 he admitted to the Discipline Committee that his conduct was intemperate and disrespectful and amounted to professional misconduct and conduct unbecoming. The admission resolved the citation, which was rescinded.
