The Bar Standards Board applied to proceed in the absence of the Respondent, Mei Leong, who was neither present nor represented; the application was granted. The charges arose following regulatory/enforcement action by another regulator in Malaysia, where a Disciplinary Committee found against him on 16 December 2016 in connection with a complaint by a property seller who alleged the Respondent had failed to account to him. No oral evidence was heard. The Tribunal was satisfied there was evidence on which it could safely conclude all 3 charges were proved. It ordered that the Respondent be disbarred and that no practising certificate be issued. No express finding of dishonesty is recorded in the available text.

Duties found breached:
