One of NZ's top Freemasons, Stan Barker, a leading Christchurch lawyer, has been suspended from his legal practice.
Mr Barker, 60, a former Grand Lodge of New Zealand grand master, has been sent
home without pay while he is investigated by the Law Society.
He is the principal of Barker & Associates based in Hornby, which has been a leading firm in the city since the 1920s.
