re:INVESTIGATE UNPROFESSIONAL CONDUCT AGAINST SHA SINGH & ASSOCIATES
I hereby request the KZN Law Society to undertake an extensive investigation by the Sha Singh & Associates firm of attorneys about the delay in instituting summons on behalf of a client they were presenting on behalf of Durban Justice Centre Judicare basis.
In 2004 the complainant laid a civil claim against three state departments through the Durban Justice Centre, after Legal Aid Board attorney Yusuf Mohamed had messed up the 'notice to institute civil proccedings' dated 17 July 2005, client had lodged a formal complaint with the Public Protector-KZN, whereby the matter was then handed over to Sha Singh & Associates.
KZN Law Society was served with an extensive correspondence in 2006 complaining about the conduct of Sha Singh & Associates, which included a merit report prepared by Sha Singh & Associates to Durban Justice Centre's Mr Metha, "Amended Notice to Institute Action" prepared by Sha Singh & Associates that was faxed to three state departments dated 20 December 2005, and correspodence exchanged between myself and Durban Equality Court over "Racism, Misrepresntation & Unreasonable Delay" charges I'd laid against the attorney.
My instructions to her practise was to demand R 10 million damages { copy of an affidavitt served to a consultation with Sha Singh & Associates is in my possession}
NB. Worst conduct to be seen by this racist firm of attorneys was the information given to me by Durban Justice Centres, Ms Vasie Govender that all my records in the client file were destroyed by Sha Singh & Associates.
As an experienced lawyer, I aver that during a "one-on-one consultation" with the client Sha Singh had intimated that the matter was to prescribe in July 2006, and I have telephonic transcripts in my possession of audience she held with Mr Metha (Durban Justice Centre Head) private assistant, known as Shamla, whereby Sha Singh repeated her concerns about the urgency of the mater before it prescribed.
Further, take notice that Sha Singh & Associates had misrepresented facts to the KZN Law Society by alleging that the client (myself) had terminated representation from/by their practise.This assertion by Sha Singh & Associates is devoid of truth.
It state categorically that Sha Singh & Associates Office Manager, known as Viveck, started to gang up in a racial manner and compelled his wife Sha Singh not to proceed with my matter as in Viveck's words to me at their practise
"You Mr Mqadi think you're clever by laying false allegations against Adv Shiren Lakhi at the Durban Equality Court.
There's no Indian Firm of lawyers that must represents you because you're anti-Indian people" Viveck said.
This information was submitted in an affidavitt form to Mr Rees-KZN Law Society- but was never investigated. This information is also before Durban Equality Court whereby lawyer Sha Singh simply ignore by not attending, ask Presiding Officer/s Ngubane and Luthuli Esq.
The Durban Justice Centre Head (Mr Metha) should also be held accountable for having failed to addrees this matter with Sha Singh & Associates as they are the ones who had referred my civil claim matter on Judicare.
My instructions to Sha Singh & Associates was to serve summons to the ff:
1. Minister of Safety & Security
2.Minister of Justice & Constitutional Development, and
3. Minister of Correctional Services
timeously, but to no avail.
This is the cause for action.
NB. I bring to your attention that Sha Singh & Associates had served an 'Amended Notice To Institute Action' to the three state departments dated 20 December 2006 (copies in Sha Singh & Associates in their LetterHeads are my possession) BUT that was never acted/followed up ever since.
Sincerely
N.Mqadi
