The Law Society brought a motion for an interlocutory order suspending or restricting the respondent lawyer's licence pending a conduct application.
The underlying application alleged the lawyer failed to respect human rights laws regarding a former employee and engaged in abusive communications and inappropriate social media postings.
The Tribunal found no evidence of current harm or significant risk of harm to the public or the administration of justice, noting that the passage of time had addressed previous concerns.
The motion was dismissed for lack of statutory authority under section 49.27(2) of the Law Society Act.
