KUALA LUMPUR: The High Court has fixed July 21 to deliver its decision in an application by UK-based lawyer Jonathan Laidlaw to be admitted as an advocate and solicitor here for him to appear as Datuk Seri Najib Razak's lead counsel in the SRC International appeal.
The date was set by Justice Ahmad Kamal Md Shahid after hearing submissions from parties here on Wednesday .
"I can assure you the things that will be decided at the Federal Court are not even in the cases they listed," he said.Meanwhile, lead prosecutor Datuk V. Sithambaram rebutted the need for a QC to take part in the appeal. "We submit that the threshold has not been met. Since the QC is not a requirement, this application should be dismissed," he added.Senior Federal Counsel Shamsul Bolhassan from the Attorney General's Chambers said that the AGC objected to the application as there was no cogent reason to have the QC's assistance.
It said that Najib, as the appellant, had sought to engage Laidlaw's professional services to act as lead counsel in the appeal.
