A QUEEN’s Counsel (QC) from the United Kingdom, Jonathan Laidlaw, who is seeking to act for Najib Razak in the former prime minister’s appeal in the RM42 million SRC International Sdn Bhd corruption case, has special qualifications and experience not available among advocates and solicitors in Malaysia, according to Najib’s legal team.
Najib’s lead counsel Muhammad Shafee Abdullah in an affidavit to support a bid for Laidlaw to represent the appellant in his final appeal at the Federal Court in August said Laidlaw, who has appeared in 109 reported cases in the Divisional Court, Court of Appeal and House of Lords (now the Supreme Court), had qualifications and experience in a whole range of corruption cases both in the UK and in overseas jurisdictions.
