The full bench of the Western Australian Supreme Court will determine if a solicitor who allegedly took a $12,500 kickback should be removed from the roll.
The State Administrative Authority handed down a professional misconduct funding to Kelvin Ka Chuen Tang and recommended that the Supreme Court remove his name from the roll of practitioners for soliciting a cash sum of $12,500 in a “kickback” or “commission” for the benefit of a company controlled by his father.
On behalf of his client TFC, Mr Tang assisted as it entered a project management agreement with another company as a trustee for F Trust. Mr Tang’s mother and father owned equal shares of the entire trust and, at all material times, the tribunal heard Mr Tang “had the day-to-day management of the affairs of the trust”.
