In a letter dated October 8, 2014, the Law Society of Alberta conduct manager provided a further update to the complainant that Gowlings lawyer Taryn Burnett continues to be under lengthy review.
Ms. Burnett has been under investigation for misconduct by the Law Society of Alberta for one and a half years to date for her reprehensible abuse of the complainant, a plaintiff in a medical negligence matter who had to undergo multiple corrective surgeries. Ms. Burnett was removed from acting as opposing defence counsel in that matter.
In addition to the Law Society investigation, Ms. Burnett and Gowlings colleague Megan McMahon face harassment and defamation proceedings at the Court of Queen's Bench.
