Ex-Imperial Tobacco GC Questioned Over Destroying Health Documents
Over the course of three long days, Roger Ackman, Imperial Tobacco's
general counsel from 1972 to 1999, sat in the hot seat where no GC ever
wants to be—as a trial witness being grilled by a plaintiffs lawyer over
destroying company documents.

Ackman was dragged into a suit against the tobacco industry in Superior
Court in Montreal—against his protests and despite failed legal attempts to
avoid it. But because the GC actually took part in decisions in the early
1990s to destroy company research reports on the risks of smoking, the
Canadian court ruled he had to testify.
