A former Alberta justice minister and MLA has been accused of professional misconduct by the province’s law society.
In a hearing schedule posted on the website for the Law Society of Alberta (LSA), lawyer Jonathan Denis faces two citations.
The LSA alleges Denis, a King’s Counsel, acted for an individual identified as R.M. while in a conflict of interest.
It also alleged that Denis threatened to make a complaint to a regulatory authority “in an attempt to gain a benefit for his client, C.K.”
In both cases, said the LSA, the conduct is “deserving of sanction.”
A hearing date has not been set for the matters….
