The number of disciplinary tribunals appointed from 2018 to 2021 to investigate complaints of lawyers' misconduct has increased.
SINGAPORE: The new legal year opened on Monday with Chief Justice Sundaresh Menon noting a"noticeable" increase in breaches of professional standards by lawyers over the past few years.
In his speech, which was centred on the theme of change, Chief Justice Menon also addressed changes to the legal industry, including its potentially diminishing attractiveness as a profession. Chief Justice Menon gave the figures while speaking at length about how there have been fewer opportunities for close mentorship between veterans and juniors in the profession due to the pandemic.
In many cases where client care is lacking, lawyers have acted contrary to their clients' instructions, failed to keep their clients reasonably informed of proceedings, or have been"disloyal" to their clients' interests, he said. For example, lawyer Dhanwant Singh was fined S$50,000 in 2019 after he deposited funds paid by an interested buyer into his firm's clients' account rather than its conveyancing account, a breach of professional rules.
