SINGAPORE - The partner of a law firm who made disrespectful remarks against a judge and falsely accused an opposing counsel of committing perjury found herself the subject of 13 complaints lodged by six lawyers.
On Wednesday, in giving written grounds for dismissing her appeal, the apex court said Ms Tan showed a lack of remorse even in her written mitigation pleas to the disciplinary tribunal. Ms Tan also said that the six lawyers who filed complaints had “tried to poison the mind” of an inexperienced judge.
Three siblings were represented by Central Chambers Law Corporation, another three were represented by Yeo-Leong & Peh , while the seventh was self-represented.
