Former Alberta cabinet minister Tyler Shandro’s lawyer says law society has no jurisdiction to handle three complaints filed against his client
The Law Society of Alberta doesn’t have the jurisdiction to address several complaints about former provincial cabinet minister Tyler Shandro, his lawyer suggested Monday.
They include confronting a Calgary doctor in the front yard of his home, calling two Red Deer doctors on their personal cellphones and contacting a woman who sent a message to his wife’s company accusing the couple of being in a conflict of interest. Shandro’s lawyer, Grant Stapon, told the law society panel in the online hearing Monday that he would be bringing forward a motion related to jurisdiction because there doesn’t appear to be any connection between the complaints and Shandro’s legal practice.Bud Melnyk, chairman of the panel, said it would hear those arguments following the cross-examination of Shandro, which took several hours Monday.
When his lawyer tried to bring forward the application for a dismissal, the chairman said jurisdiction is established by the fact Shandro is a lawyer.“The arguments you’ve raised are valid arguments, but they are arguments that we would hear at the conclusion of this hearing,” Melnyk said.
