A week-long hearing has started in the North Gauteng High Court which could see some of Pretoria’s top advocates disbarred.
The group of 13 had been suspended from practising for up to six months over an alleged fee scandal involving the bankrupt Road Accident Fund.
They are accused of costing the fund millions by charging two clients a full day’s fees when they consulted with both on the same day.
The General Council of the Bar feels the advocates’ punishment is too light and is seeking the disbarring order.
