ARGUMENT in an appeal hearing about 13 advocates, who mounted "the steed of greed" and milked the Road Accident Fund, will begin in the Supreme Court of Appeal today.
The appeal hearing follows an application by the General Council of the Bar to strike off the 13 advocates, all senior members of the Pretoria Bar.
The advocates accepted multiple cases on the same day (so-called double briefing) and charged a full day's fee for each case (called overreaching).
The court struck the names of Thillay Pillay, Theunis Botha, Toy de Klerk, Percy Leopeng, Daniel Mogagabe and French Bezuidenhout off the roll and ordered them to repay the RAF.
Appeal by RAF shysters
