Lim Tean charged for CBT, unlawful stalking and practising without a practicing cert

<<Mr Lim is also alleged to have acted as an advocate or solicitor without a valid practising certificate on 66 occasions between Apr 1 and Jun 9 last year, the police said on Tuesday, adding that investigations are ongoing.>>

Huh how is it possible for him to act as solicitor without a valid cert?

Accounts not ready for submission. All lawyers running a law firm are required to audit and file an account for the preceding year before they can renew their practising certificate. His accounts must be in a mess.

That means he didn't renew his practicing certificate (PC) on time. You know every lawyer has to purchase a Professional Indemnity Insurance for $1 million, without which The Law Society will not issue the PC. As I understand, the insurance is quite expensive and the insurance broker will normally arrange for the premium to be paid via installments.

He will say that during the period when a valid PC was not in place, he didn't act as a lawyer for his clients. In other words, he didn't go to Court to represent clients; he didn't sign docs bearing his lawyer stamp. He was merely a clerk in the law firm.

Of course if you are in the big firm, the towkay will pay for you.
 
This guy is a joke.
A doctor goes for round the world trip for 18 months - not seeing any patients.
So, no need to renew license?

No need. If you are not seeing patients, that means you are not practicing. But if you open clinic no patients come in to see you, then it's a different story lah. That is called boh seng lee.

From what I understand from my lawyer friends, every practicing certificate starts from 1 April each year and ends on 31 March the following year. If a lawyer can't get his PC out in time by 1 April, he or she is given a grace period of one month to do so. That means his PC must be in place by 30 April latest. So long as the PC is issued in April, it'll be automatically backdated to 1 April. Beyond that period, it'll be on the exact date it is issued. If that happens, the lawyer is treated as not having a practicing cert from 1 April to the date of actual issue of the PC.
 
So oppie lim tean is not a real lawyer, is a pervert and has broken trust with his clients. What a loser!

He couldn't renew his practising certificate as his accounts were not in order. But if he says that, then he's fucked for his CBT case. So he's now in a fix.

No practicing cert means not a real lawyer. Why do oppies often have messy accounts? I remember that there was an oppie lawyer called Tang who also had messy accounts and the tax department had to check his books.

Do you consider the DPPs in AG Chambers real lawyers ? Or the Chief Legal Officer in major banks and public listed companies real lawyers ?

Even the Chief Justice doesn't hold a valid practising certificate now although he was a practising lawyer before he became a judge.
 
Lim Tean is a veteran lawyer and owner of his own practice. You think he "forgot" to renew his license?

This is the life of a real opposition politician in PAP's sinkapore

All establishments will try to trip you including trade societies and the press
 
I blame it on the tiong vaccine he took. It's apparent the vaccine has a negative effect on one's judgment.

He did not forget. The Law Society will remind him for sure. And the gian png insurance brokers surely will remind him too. It's more a case of "bo lui" to renew.

It's one insurance for firm, another one for himself. Not cheap !
