Lawyer Syn Kok Kay also took one year to deliver his bill of costs for taxation.
SINGAPORE: A lawyer who overcharged his client by about S$1 million and did not comply with a court order has been suspended for three years and nine months.
He did not return the difference of S$1.05 million to JWR, and was declared bankrupt after JWR brought a bankruptcy application against him."UNETHICAL BEHAVIOUR" Justice Chong, who delivered the verdict on behalf of the court, said not every instance of overcharging would result in due cause for disciplinary action.
Mr La'Brooy answered that LawSoc took into account the"totality of the circumstances" and found there was no evidence of dishonesty or fraudulent intent by Mr Syn. "Nothing is disclosed that would remotely suggest that the respondent had a firm grasp of why he was charging what he did, let alone that he had so charged in the belief that he was being reasonable."
