Lew (Lewis) Lederman's Problem Solving Experience:
- As an expert in insurance regulation wrote a report for the Government of Alberta and testified in Court respecting whether banks "promoting" insurance in Alberta was "banking" and thus federal, or "not-banking" and thus provincial. Alberta was successful at trial, on appeal and at the Supreme Court of Canada.
- At the Canadian Payments Association, as in-house lawyer (in the early 80's): Did the first systematic analysis of the legal characteristics of clearing and settlement (in my day we cleared some $11 Trillion per year). The study provided the basis for making the Clearing Rules public, aiding in transparency .
