KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court has rejected an application by British lawyer Jonathan Laidlaw to be admitted as an advocate and solicitor here, effectively dashing former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak's bid to have the Queen's Counsel (QC) represent him in his SRC International Sdn Bhd appeal at the Federal Court.
In his brief decision, Justice Ahmad Kamal Md Shahid said there were no complex issues in the appeal that would require the QC's participation.
