This was said by Najib's lead counsel Tan Sri Muhammad Shafee Abdullah in his supporting affidavit to UK-based Jonathan Laidlaw's application to be admitted as a lawyer in Malaysia for him to appear as Najib's lawyer in the Pekan MP's final appeal at the Federal Court in August.
"I verily believe there are no other advocates and solicitors in Malaysia which possess equal qualification, experience and expertise to that of the applicant particularly for the purposes of advancing the appellant's case and assisting the apex court in determination of the serious, complex and novel issues which will arise in the appeal," he said.
"The applicant has appeared in 109 reported cases in the Divisional Court, Court of Appeal and House of Lords . "It is respectfully suggested that the Federal Court would benefit from being able to draw upon the applicant's experience and counsel in this important, sensitive and constantly evolving area and in circumstances where it is likely that international trial observers will be present at court given the identity of the appellant and the profile of the case," he said.
