Compensation Fund

Advocates and Solicitors Compensation Fund

The Malaysian Bar established the Advocates and Solicitors Compensation Fund ("Compensation Fund") in 1978 to mitigate the losses suffered by members of the public (who are clients of lawyers) arising out of the dishonesty of lawyers.  One example is where a lawyer misappropriates monies held by him or her as a stakeholder.  

The funds in the Compensation Fund come from compulsory annual contributions from every practising lawyer registered with the Bar Council.
