Kan Jom Phalang" joins hands with "Thanakrit", Assistant Minister of Public Health, to lead a group of victims of THE ICON GROUP to consult with the Lawyers Council to prepare to file a civil lawsuit against THE ICON GROUP. Mr. Kanthas Pongpaiboonwet or Kan Jom Phalang, along with Mr. Kongtri Thanakrit Jit-Areerat, Assistant Minister to the Ministry of Public Health, led the group of victims of THE ICON GROUP to consult with the Lawyers Council to prepare to file a civil lawsuit against THE ICON GROUP. 'Kan Jom Phalang' stated that since criminal cases are the responsibility of the police, the victims may not have taken action yet or may not know how to proceed with civil cases. The Lawyers Council has contacted and stated its intention to assist all victims in filing civil lawsuits so that the victims can get their lost property back. Initially, we would like all victims to file a complaint at a police station or police station near their home. As for helping victims who live far away or are unable to trave l, we will discuss with the Lawyers Council again to see how we can help. We are confident that no less than 90 percent of the victims who filed complaints will gradually consult with the Lawyers Council to file civil lawsuits in the same case. Pol. Col. Thanakrit Chitareerat added that he was originally responsible for prosecuting illegal doctors and clinics involved in the case. However, from now on, he will stand as a lawyer and the Lawyers Council of Thailand is willing to provide assistance through the Lawyers Council of Thailand's network nationwide. They can provide power of attorney and attach supporting documents. If the injured party wishes to file a civil lawsuit in the case, they can do so immediately without any charges. A class action lawsuit will be filed. However, if the injured party wishes to spend money to hire a private lawyer to speed up the process of filing the lawsuit, they can do so as well. As for the case where THE ICON GROUP Company has opened a help center by requiring people to sign and fill in personal information, various details, will it have any impact on the civil lawsuit? Kan Jom Phalang confirmed that if they have not received compensation, they can take legal action. However, if they have received compensation, they will discuss it again. Mr. Weerasak Chotiwanich, Vice President for Technology and Information and Deputy Spokesperson of the Lawyers Council of Thailand under Royal Patronage, stated that in terms of assistance, we have more than 10,000 volunteer lawyers nationwide who have undergone training. There will be free assistance. For those who already have a lawyer, it is the lawyer's duty to proceed according to their profession. The Lawyers Council has a network throughout the country. There is a central office and regional committees 1-9 according to the administrative area. There are provincial Lawyers Council presidents throughout the country. The information that must be submitted to us includes documents from the beginning about how the victim became, how the y found out about the business, how much damage was done, what information to collect as much as possible including the damage that occurred, for the convenience of filing a lawsuit. In terms of criminal cases, information may also be collected about where complaints have been filed so that they can be combined. Source: Thai News Agency
