VK Lingam fails in appeal to set aside decision striking him off advocates and solicitors rolls


PUTRAJAYA (Bernama): The Court of Appeal here dismissed an appeal by lawyer Datuk V.K. Lingam to set aside the Advocates and Solicitors disciplinary board's decision to bar him from practising law for alleged misconduct relating to a video clip over judicial appointments on Tuesday (July 27).

A three-man panel led by Justice Datuk Lee Swee Seng said the court found no merits in Lingam's argument that there was a breach of natural justice, as he claimed he was not heard in person before the disciplinary board handed down the punishment on him.
