Hearing for Law Society disciplinary proceedings against WP chief Pritam Singh scheduled for Aug. 13

The hearing for the Law Society of Singapore's (LawSoc) case against Workers' Party chief Pritam Singh is scheduled for Aug. 13, 2026.

This is according to the Court's hearing list.

The case is described as "disciplinary proceedings for advocates and solicitors of the Supreme Court of the Republic of Singapore".

LawSoc's case comes after the court upheld Singh's conviction in the Raeesah Khan case.

A case management conference was previously scheduled on Mar. 12.

What the law says

LawSoc said in March that it initiated disciplinary proceedings against Singh as required under the Legal Profession Act, following his court conviction, CNA reported.

It said it had done so based on information received from the Attorney-General's Chambers that Singh had been convicted of offences involving "fraud or dishonesty", according to The Straits Times.

Section 94A of the Legal Profession Act stipulates that LawSoc must, without further direction, initiate disciplinary proceedings where a regulated legal practitioner has been convicted of an offence involving fraud or dishonesty.

The legal practitioner may be struck off the rolls.

They may also be suspended from practice for up to five years, fined up to S$100,000 or be censured.

According to details on the Court's website, the case will be presided over by Chief Justice Sundaresh Menon, alongside Justice Kannan Ramesh and Justice See Kee Oon.

LawSoc is represented by lawyers from Drew & Napier, including its chief executive officer, Senior Counsel Cavinder Bull.

Singh is represented by lawyers from Peter Low Chambers, including Peter Cuthbert Low.
