By Stephen : The Best Is Yet To Be  The lawyer that represented himself and sued ACS over the confiscation of his son's iPhone 7 is Andrew Hanam. To set the record straight, his boy was caught red-handed playing with the phone in class. Any self-respecting father would have made his son own up to the mistake. Mr Hanam is "well-known" lawyer. In 2007, Chief Justice asked the Law Society to see if Mr Hanam had breached his professional duties. He had billed a client $80,000 for work done on an accident case which was eventually escalated to the High Court. In fact, he didn't even show up in court when he was supposed to.

He suspected the water leaks in his 3 storey Thomson Green house was attributable to his neighbour. Mr Hanam was told by the High Court that there was no valid easement - or legal right of way - in which he could enter businessman Lam Vui's property without his consent. Justice Belinda Ang, in judgment grounds released back then, said Mr Hanam's application was "patently misconceived".

In any case, I think he did not bring any glory to the ACS family. |
