Tory minister's complaint against lawyer's comments about Conrad Black case dismissed by Law Society

I
Immigration Minister Jason Kenney’s office pursued a formal complaint against a Toronto lawyer who suggested publicly that the Conservative politician played a role in the decision to let former media baron Conrad Black return to Canada.
This spring, a staffer in Mr. Kenney’s office filed a grievance against Guidy Mamann with the Law Society of Upper Canada, proposing he be investigated for violating its code of conduct.
The veteran immigration lawyer offered commentary to media outlets, including The Globe and Mail, following news in late April that Mr. Black had engineered his return to Canada, a country whose citizenship he renounced in pursuit of a British peerage.
The law society answered the complaint in July by saying it found insufficient evidence to warrant an investigation into Mr. Mamann. It closed the file.
