Jean-Antoine Panet

Jean-Antoine Panet (French pronunciation: [ʒɑ̃ ɑ̃twan panɛ]; June 8, 1751 – May 17, 1815) was a notary, lawyer, judge, seigneur and political figure in Lower Canada.

Like others in the province, Panet lobbied for a legislative assembly.

In 1794, he was appointed a judge of the Court of Common Pleas and resigned his post as speaker at that time.

Panet was also named a judge of the Court of King's Bench for the District of Montreal, but refused this second appointment.

He was elected speaker again in 1797, serving until 1815, when he resigned due to poor health.
