Najib fails in bid for UK-based QC


KUALA LUMPUR: The final appeal by former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak in the RM42mil SRC International Sdn Bhd case will proceed in August without the presence of the UK-based Queen’s Counsel he sought to represent him.

This is following the High Court’s decision that dismissed an application by English barrister Jonathan Laidlaw to be admitted as an advocate and solicitor here, an adhoc admission required to have him appear as the Pekan MP’s lead counsel in the SRC appeal at the Federal Court.
