Two Alberta-based lawyers have been banned from practising in Canada for three years after admitting to hiring a private investigator to spy on a Manitoba judge. The lawyers were also forbidden from contacting Chief Justice Glenn Joyal and faced charges of obstruction of justice and intimidation. The surveillance was deemed unethical and an affront to the administration of justice by Associate Chief Justice Shane Perlmutter.

Two Alberta-based lawyers will not be able to practise anywhere in Canada for three years after admitting to having a private investigator spy on a Manitoba judge.

Carpay is president of the Calgary-based Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms, a legal advocacy group that has fought against COVID-19 public health orders. Cameron is a lawyer who does work for the centre. Joyal noticed the SUV following him after he left the Winnipeg courthouse to run errands, court was told in an agreed statement of facts Friday. Outside one store, Joyal turned the tables on the private eye.

Carpay and Cameron have said they did not intend to intimidate Joyal or interfere with the court case involving their clients. They have said their only intent was to see whether public officials were breaking COVID-19 restrictions. They apologized to Joyal in an earlier hearing.“He is a believer in the judicial system.”
