CALGARY – A Law Society of Alberta hearing into allegations that a former cabinet minister broke the lawyers’ code of conduct won’t hear final arguments until September.

Tyler Shandro, a lawyer who was defeated in last month’s provincial election, faces three complaints from his time as health minister early in the COVID-19 pandemic.

His hearing started in January, continued for a couple of days this week and has been adjourned until Sept. 5 to give lawyers time to complete written briefs.

The law society says in a statement that oral arguments would be heard that day if required.

It says the hearing is considered concluded when all its submissions, oral and written, have been completed.
