Khao kradong: A lawyer at Khao Kradong has countered allegations of violating lawyer ethics, insisting that his actions are aimed at protecting the rights of the people. Chanin Kaenhiran, the lawyer involved in the Khao Kradong case, has addressed concerns over potential breaches of the Lawyers Council's regulations. He clarified that his previous role as chairman of the State Railway of Thailand's legal subcommittee does not conflict with his current responsibilities in representing villagers in the Khao Kradong case.
According to Thai News Agency, Mr. Chanin emphasized that during his tenure at the State Railway of Thailand, he had no involvement in the Khao Kradong case. He has been out of office for over two years, which he argues negates any conflict of interest or breach of professional ethics. Mr. Chanin firmly stated that his current appointment as a lawyer is in full compliance with legal standards and regulations.
Mr. Chanin expressed his belief that the allegations are not genuinely rooted in concerns over lawyer ethics but are instead attempts to undermine his credibility due to fears that the truth will emerge in court. He argued that the focus should remain on seeking justice and truth for those affected by the case, rather than on personal attacks or distractions. Mr. Chanin remains committed to his duty to safeguard public rights under the law.
