M Ravi seeks compensation & apology from law society
SINGAPORE: Lawyer M Ravi is seeking compensation and a public apology from the Law Society and lawyer Wong Siew Hong for alleged defamation.
Mr Wong had appeared in court last week and handed over a letter from Mr Ravi’s psychiatrist which said he was medically unfit to practise.
Mr Ravi was in court to argue the ongoing Hougang by—election case.
His lawyer and colleague Louis Joseph on Monday served a letter of demand on the Law Society and Mr Wong, to which they have seven days to respond.
It claimed that Mr Wong, by handing over the letter, put the contents of the letter "beyond the scope" of "intrinsic confidentiality".
It also claimed that such conduct was "intended primarily to injure" Mr Ravi’s "reputation, goodwill and standing in the community".
Mr Joseph said the compensation amount has to be agreed upon by the parties involved.
