Yep..public trustee was the 1 who transferred the $$ to my account.

 

They transferred the $$ 1st, then when i was updating my bank book..was wondering how come got a big sum of $$ in my account. Counterchecked with bank teller, bank teller say ya correct...thought some1 deposited wrongly.

 

Till a week later, received the letter from the public trustee. About a month later, received the invoice from my lawyer, but not the 1 i pay la..the other party insurance company.

 

Yeap, lawyer did tell me all their expenses will have to go through public trustee to assess reasonableness. Including my claims.
