A construction company director handed a former lawyer $13,400 for legal services, not realising that the man had been disbarred from practising.
Leong also claimed at one point to being “with the judge now”, implying to the victim that he was purportedly in court acting on the older man’s behalf. Initially, Leong would meet the older man and explain the legal process to him. But as time passed, he met the victim less frequently, citing reasons including feeling unwell at the time.According to court documents, DG Law was under the impression that Leong was referring the victim to it for the claim and proceeded to draft the appropriate writs.
DPP Chong said: “ despite being awarded the default judgment, did not see any money from the suit as he was otherwise unaware of the outcome of the matter. DG Law... was supposed to receive $2,000 in legal costs from but did not.”
