A human rights lawyer is filing a professional misconduct complaint against a Manitoba lawyer, after a member of her team admitted to hiring a private investigator to follow a Manitoba judge presiding over a legal fight against provincial pandemic health orders. Ottawa human rights lawyer Richard Warman told CBC News he filed a complaint with the Law Society of Alberta against Carpay and the centre's litigation director, Jay Cameron. He says he's also filed a complaint against Allison Pejovic, a lawyer from the Justice Centre who is registered with the Law Society of Manitoba. The private investigator followed him to his private residence and to his cottage, Joyal said. He said he did not discuss the decision with Justice Centre clients, staff lawyers or members of the board.
