Workers’ Party (WP) chief Pritam Singh was struck off the rolls on Thursday after the Court of Three Judges decided on the disciplinary action initiated by the Law Society of Singapore (LawSoc).
This follows his conviction for giving false evidence under oath.
Apart from being a Member of Parliament for Aljunied GRC, Singh was also a non-practising lawyer.
Chief Justice Sundaresh Menon presided over the hearing, alongside Justice Kannan Ramesh and Justice See Kee Oon.
The Court of Three Judges is the highest disciplinary body for lawyers in Singapore.
The hearing comes after Singh’s conviction on two counts of giving false evidence under oath to the Committee of Privileges that investigated former WP MP Raeesah Khan over a false claim she made in parliament. He was fined S$14,000 (US$10,900) for the two charges.
