Walter Harley Trueman

Walter Harley Trueman (May 23, 1870 – February 24, 1951)[1] was a lawyer and a judge in Winnipeg, Manitoba.

He articled with the firm of Hannington and Wilson of Saint John before moving into private practice.

He was an associate of The Honorable George Blair, Attorney General of New Brunswick and Minister of Railways in the Cabinet of Sir Wilfrid Laurier.

The matter was taken directly to the Privy Council on special leave, bypassing the Supreme Court, where it was held in 1919 that the Manitoba government had no such right.

[4] In 1923, he was appointed to the Manitoba Court of Appeal by Sir William Lyon Mackenzie King, the prime minister of Canada.
