After discharging Mr Lim as his lawyer, Mr Suresh Kumar appointed Joseph Chen & Co on Nov 13, 2019. The report did not state why he discharged Mr Lim.
The next day, Willy Tay Chambers, the solicitors for the defendant in Mr Suresh Kumar’s case, sent a letter to Carson Law Chambers dated Nov 13, 2019, with a cheque for $30,000 as interim payment for the judgment sum. The society had initially brought a third charge, claiming that Mr Lim had misappropriated the $30,000 by failing or neglecting to pay Mr Suresh Kumar.
Mr Lim also claimed there was a previous arrangement where Mr Suresh Kumar was to pay the proceeds of the judgment sum to his creditor and to Mr Lim, before he received any money. The tribunal said it was troubled that Mr Lim did not state that Carson Law Chambers had the cheque when he responded to the letter sent by Mr Suresh Kumar’s new lawyers.
