A discipline hearing has been scheduled by the Law Society of Saskatchewan to look into the conduct of North Battleford lawyer Kevan Migneault.
The hearing has been scheduled for Nov. 8 and 9 in Regina. The location is the Prince Albert Room of the Double Tree Hotel, 1975 - Broad St.
Migneault has been serving an interim suspension since Dec. 11, 2015 on various counts of conduct unbecoming a lawyer. An Amended Formal Complaint was filed in Februray and the counts against him include participation in the fraud of a client, conflict of interest and breach of fiduciary duty, trust accounting rules breaches, involvement in investment offerings of his client and contravention of a cease trade order. He also faces a conflict of interest allegation from a separate formal complaint filed in July.
Also in trouble with the law society is Migneault’s former law partner, Murray Greenwood. He also faces counts of conduct unbecoming a lawyer for facilitating the commission of fraud by his client, as well as conflict of interest, breach of fiduciary duty and failure to maintain proper books for his law practice.
Those counts were filed in an Amended Formal Complaint from February, however a hearing date for Greenwood has not yet been announced.
