ISIS bride Shamima Begum's lawyer fined for overcharging taxpayers in legal aid fees

THE BOSS of the law firm fighting to return IS bride Shamima Begum to Britain was found to have overcharged thousands in legal aid, The Sun can reveal.

But it was claimed that her case had passed to renowned human rights lawyer Gareth Peirce who gained legal aid on behalf of Begum after applying on March 19.He said he had “very little experience of criminal defence work” after he applied for £7,300 for the National Taxing Team despite agreeing to £3,000 cost limits.

It means attempts by Begum, 19, to claim legal aid with Farooq Bajwa & Co would go through extra checks as the SRA slapped extra regulations on its practice. Farooq Bajwa & Co defence solicitor Tasnime Akunjee has led the fight to return Begum to the UK on behalf of her family since 2015.Akunjee confirmed that legal aid was granted after an application was made on March 19 – but he was forced to hand the case to Ms Peirce.as authorities at al-Roj refugee camp would not let him see her and so now only represents the family.
