SINGAPORE - Lawyer Lim Tean, who is accused of offences including acting as an advocate or solicitor despite not being authorised to do so at the time, discharged his defence counsel on Tuesday, which was supposed to be the first day of his trial.
Lim, who is the founder of Peoples Voice party, is claiming trial to three charges under the Legal Profession Act. A search on the Ministry of Law website reveals he is currently the sole proprietor of Carson Law Chambers. Every solicitor who wishes to act in the capacity of an advocate and solicitor must apply for a practising certificate, according to the Singapore Courts website.
Lim said: “It is a thick bundle, and I will need time to engage a new counsel to go through the material, and certain other applications may have to be made.” After hearing both sides, Judge Ong asked Lim to engage a new lawyer by Wednesday to represent him during the trial.
