A formal complaint against lawyer and anti-vaccine campaigner Sue Grey says she is using her status in the legal profession to further her “flawed, inaccurate and dangerous” claims about Covid-19.
FACT Aotearoa, a group formed to counter misinformation and conspiracy theories in New Zealand, lodged a formal complaint with the New Zealand Law Society against the Nelson-based lawyer on Monday.
They say Grey has breached the Lawyers and Conveyancers Act (Lawyers: Conduct and Client Care) Rules 2008, which state “a lawyer must not engage in conduct that tends to bring the profession into disrepute”.
