Huey has a previous conviction for theft/fraud which he has not declared to the Board for Legal Education when he applied for the JTC programme. The reason why Huey has not declared the conviction to the Board for Legal Education is because he was, in his opinion, innocent and wrongly convicted. However, shortly before filing his application, Huey is informed that the Law Society of Namibia ("LSN") is aware of the conviction and that the LSN will probably object to his admission. He therefore needs to deal with the conviction in detail in his admission application. To be admitted as a legal practitioner, Huey (the applicant) has the burden to prove that he is a fit and proper person.
