It is reported that Louis Joseph, colleague at law firm L.F. Violet Netto, on behalf of M Ravi, has served a letter of demand on the Law Society and Wong Siew Hong, to which they have seven days to respond. The letter, dated yesterday, asked for compensation and a public apology from the Law Society and Wong Siew Hong for alleged defamation.
Among other things, it claimed that Wong's bizarre conduct at Justice Philip Pillai's court session was "intended primarily to injure" Ravi's "reputation, goodwill and standing in the community".
To underline the seriousness of the issues at hand, mainstream media highlighted the case of a lawyer struck off the rolls for being cavalier about court proceedings. The litany of complaints filed against him include being ill prepared to argue his case, late for court hearings, and not complying with court directions. 6 advocates and solicitors were stripped of their right to practice law as a result of misconduct in 2010, worse than the showing in 2008 (3 disbarred) and 2007 (2).
