A notice of originating motion filed at the High Court through Messrs Shafee & Co on Tuesday named lawyer Jonathan Laidlaw as the applicant.
It said that Najib, as the appellant, had sought to engage the professional services of the applicant to act as lead counsel in the appeal."For the purposes of the appeal, the applicant possesses special qualifications, experience and expertise which is not available amongst advocates and solicitors in Malaysia," it stated.
On Jan 25, Messrs Shafee & Co submitted a six-page letter to the secretariat of Chief Justice Tun Tengku Maimun Tuan Mat on Najib’s intention to appoint a Queen's Counsel to assist Najib in complex issues and legal questions in his SRC appeal at the apex court.The Queen’s Counsel appointment will be on an ad hoc basis after obtaining admission from the Malaysian court.
On April 25, Najib submitted 94 grounds in his petition of appeal on why he should be freed of the charges of misappropriating RM42mil in SRC International Sdn Bhd funds.
Dear AGCPutrajaya So where does Najib gets the money to hire Queen's Counsel ? How Ironic - Using stolen 1MDB money to defend himself ! And you are even kind enough to let him withdraw 100k a month for his spending and golf in Singapore.
