Mei Leong, an unregistered barrister of Lincoln's Inn, was found by a 5-person Disciplinary Tribunal to have committed three charges of professional misconduct. While practising as an Advocate and Solicitor in Malaysia in around January 2014, he dishonestly failed to release RM87,710 of a client's sale proceeds, and was struck off the Malaysian Roll on 14 April 2017 following a Disciplinary Committee finding of dishonesty.

He was disbarred.
