Law Society applies for court order to have M Ravi checked at IMH

[streetcry]

SINGAPORE: The Law Society of Singapore has applied for a court order to have M Ravi medically checked by a psychiatrist from the Institute of Mental Health to determine if he is fit to practise law in Singapore. Mr Ravi has 14 days to comply.

The originating summons filed by the society said should Mr Ravi fail to submit to the medical examination, his practising certificate will be suspended. It added that if the IMH report states that Mr Ravi is unfit to practise law, his certificate will be suspended.

At a news conference on Friday afternoon, Mr Ravi distributed copies of the summons to the media. He said the current court order is unnecessary, as he has already complied with previous requests made by the Law Society.

This includes submitting a medical report to the Law Society on August 8.

Mr Ravi said that in light of the latest development, he is seeking aggravated and punitive charges. He is raising his compensation demand of S$21 million to S$36 million. Mr Ravi had already been seeking millions of dollars in compensation for alleged defamation and damage to reputation.

This comes after one of the Law Society's members, Mr Wong Siew Hong, appeared in the High Court in July on three separate occasions to present a letter allegedly written by Mr Ravi's psychiatrist.

The letter, signed off by Dr Calvin Fones, stated that Mr Ravi was having a relapse of bipolar disorder, and was "unfit to practise law".

Mr Ravi accused the Law Society and Mr Wong of failing to investigate the letter's content before it was made known to the public. He also claimed that Mr Wong's actions had breached the confidentiality of the letter.

If the Law Society is successful, it would set an unhealthy precedent....everyone would be held at ransom to the professional bodies we belong to.....

Does the Law Society speaks for all Lawyers in Singapore?
Surely someone should speak out against this shameful washing of dirty semen stained underwear in public.......

Is LKY still a member of the Law Society?

[Narong Wongwan]

This is an evolved version of the defamation suits from yesteryear.
Why not just do an anwar on Ravi? More believable given his alleged sexual orientation.
Let's hope 60.1% wake up in time.

The law industry is going to the dumps, just like in the US. When greed permeates lawyers, they are no different from car salesmen.

For the sake of this country and the rights of private citizens, we must all support Mr M. Ravi.
