Vice-Admiral Mark Norman is one of only three individuals over the past two years whose request to the Defence Department for financial help with legal bills was rejected
The DND rejected Vice-Admiral Mark Norman’s request for financial assistance in 2017 as it claimed the senior officer was guilty of disclosing confidential information. Government officials reached that stunning conclusion — contained in a justice department letter leaked to Postmedia — even though Norman had not been charged at the time and no formal internal investigation was carried out by the Canadian Forces or the DND.
Norman has two main lawyers but his legal costs are not known. Sources, however, say the significant delays in getting basic documents for his defense is pushing his family into bankruptcy.
