And it’s about the individual. It does not refer to the organization itself. As for who the vice-president will be, let the association itself check. However, Mr. Jirapong admits that Attorney Tum’s disclosure of only the abbreviation. This makes it difficult for organizations to monitor. Because I don’t want to focus on any one person. Just because it has the same abbreviation, it becomes an accusation against that person. Although there are many such abbreviations, the as

Whether to serve in court or any place If considered to be disrespectful or in violation of the regulations You will be able to enter the process of filing a complaint regarding legal ethics. In which the examination of lawyer’s etiquette is It is not the duty of the President of the Lawyers Council. But it is the power of the Chairman of the Lawyers Etiquette Committee to consider if he sees that the behavior of any lawyer is in violation of the Lawyers’ Regulations. Or someone has complained about the manners of the said lawyer. You can set up an investigation. Then, when the committee has examined it, the results will be returned to the Presi
dent of the Lawyers Council. Consider the punishment if found to continue violating the Lawyers Regulations.

The lawyer’s part Pol. Gen. Torsak Sukwimon, Commissioner of the Royal Thai Police to file a lawsuit against Attorney Tum It is the right of the parties to be able to do so. Which must wait for the final decision of the court. However, the Lawyers Council has one regulation that If the court renders a final judgment to imprisonment in a case that is not a charge of negligence. or a petty offense and the defendant is a lawyer There will be a matter sent to the Lawyers Council to remove the name from being a lawyer. and the parties can also file a complaint with the Lawyers Council together.

The President of the Lawyers Council Leave a message to the lawyer That every lawyer can make a statement on various issues, but there must be sufficient reasons and evidence. Including not violating the regulations of lawyer etiquette.

However, there are also reports that The reason for the delay in investigating
the facts in the first case of a journalist receiving money from a news source Even though fact-checking of witnesses is almost finished. Because we are still waiting for important witnesses like Pol. Gen. Surachet Hakphan, Deputy Commissioner of the Royal Thai Police He’s giving evidence. Which is also reported that Pol.Gen.Surachet Just got in touch with the Lawyers Council last night. that he may give information next week

While on the Facebook page of Attorney Tum also revealed information that The Vice-President of the Association of Journalists, abbreviated W., received money from the Ma Suea account since 2020 on a monthly basis of 15,000 baht, later in 2021-2022 it was increased to monthly. 30,000-50,000 baht as well.
