Law360 Canada ( July 9, 2026, 9:42 AM EDT) -- Appeal by Oleynik from an order dismissing his appeal from a decision of the Law Society of Newfoundland and Labrador (Law Society) rejecting his complaint.

Oleynik alleged that the lawyer made false, incorrect or invalid statements to the court or to her client, misled the court, and failed to act in good faith toward him. The complaints authorization committee concluded there were no reasonable grounds to believe the lawyer engaged in conduct deserving of sanction and dismissed the allegations. Oleynik appealed to the Supreme Court General Division, where the appeal judge dismissed the appeal. On this appeal, Oleynik argued that he was denied procedural fairness when the matter was case managed without oral argument, that the appeal judge and committee failed to address whether the lawyer breached a duty of good faith owed to him as a member of the public, and that the appeal judge wrongly refused to let him inspect the Law Society’s record and mishandled his application to amend the reasons. He also alleged that the appeal judge erred in finding the record complete, in concluding that the committee considered all relevant evidence, and in rejecting allegations of conflict, ex parte communication and other factual errors. The Law Society maintained that case management was properly ordered and caused no unfairness, that the record filed on the appeal was complete and that the committee addressed the complaints on the material before it....
