RICHMOND – British Columbia legislator Hon Chan has pleaded not guilty to charges of assault and uttering threats in a case of alleged intimate partner violence.
The BC Prosecution Service says counsel for the Richmond Centre MLA entered the not-guilty plea last Thursday, choosing a jury trial.
The service says Chan has also waived his right to a preliminary inquiry, meaning the matter will move directly to BC Supreme Court.
Chan is next set to appear in court in Vancouver on Sept. 16.
He was elected in 2024 as a B.C. Conservative banner but was removed from caucus in March by interim leader Trevor Halford after the charges came to light.
Chan has previously said he disagrees with the allegations, which date back to 2024.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published Sept. 1, 2026.
