The alleged massive theft of medical negligence payouts by Eastern Cape lawyers could potentially collapse the Legal Practitioners Fidelity Fund (LPFF), which offers insurance against legal malpractice, its CEO said – by making it 'uninsurable.'
"Either [the fund] is going to now be categorised… like [it's] into earthquakes and that kind of thing in terms of risk or alternatively [it's] going to be kicked out because [it's] uninsurable. People believe that to insure the fund is just to insure a disaster, and without that [insurance], we will just collapse," the CEO, Motlatsi Molefe, told News24.
"That is what I am dealing with at this point, and it's very important for me to be transparent so that the general public knows what I am dealing with."
