PUTRAJAYA: Datuk Seri Najib Razak was "clearly disadvantaged" when he had no legal representation following his lead counsel's refusal to participate in the final appeal of his SRC International case, says a dissenting judge.
Chief Judge of Sabah and Sarawak Justice Abdul Rahman Sebli, who gave the dissenting judgment in a 4-1 majority decision here on Friday (March 31), said that the former prime minister could not be said to have a legal representation when the counsel of his choice, Datuk Hisyam Teh Poh Teik, refused to represent him any further during the hearing of the final appeal in August, last year.
