Former policeman Iskandar Rahmat, who is on death row for the high-profile Kovan double murder of 2013, will have a chance to argue before the Court of Appeal that his defence team should be investigated for misconduct.
A five-judge panel, ruling against the Law Society yesterday, said complainants who are pursuing disciplinary probes against lawyers have the right to appeal all the way to Singapore s highest court.
The court s decision overruled the legal position that was set in a 2011 case, which the Law Society had relied on - known as Top Ten Entertainment - in arguing that Iskandar had no right of appeal.
