Court of Appeal affirms dismissal of complaint against Lee Kuan Yew's lawyer over handling of earlier wills

The complaint was one of four made against Ms Kwa by Dr Lee Wei Ling and Mr Lee Hsien Yang, who are Mr Lee Kuan Yew’s children and the executors of his estate.

The final will restore equal shares of the estate among Mr Lee Kuan Yew’s three children, and reintroduced a clause asking for his house at 38 Oxley Road to be demolished. Dr Lee and Mr Lee Hsien Yang then applied to the High Court seeking an order for the Law Society to apply to the Chief Justice to appoint a disciplinary tribunal for a formal investigation into the conduct of Ms Kwa in relation to each of those complaints.

This involved the interpretation of a section of the Legal Profession Act governing the disciplinary process when a complaint is made. The court said the essence of the first complaint was that Mr Lee Kuan Yew had instructed Ms Kwa to “physically destroy” the earlier wills, in the sense that there would be no remaining trace of the wills.
