A judge has ordered new elections for the board of Cricket BC after irregularities, including improperly cast proxy votes from the Langley, Nanaimo, and Allcomers clubs during last November’s annual general meeting.

Justice Andrew P. A. Mayer also removed the sitting president of Cricket BC, Vimal Hardat, finding he was not actually a member of a cricket club, and therefore not eligible to serve as head of the provincial society.
