PETALING JAYA: UK lawyer Jonathan Laidlaw has gone to the Federal Court to appeal against last month’s High Court decision disallowing his application to represent Najib Razak in the just concluded SRC International appeal.
Laidlaw filed his notice of appeal yesterday through his solicitor, Messrs Shafee & Co.
Attorney-general Idrus Harun, the prosecution in the SRC case, the Malaysian Bar and the Kuala Lumpur Bar Committee, who opposed Laidlaw’s application, have been notified.

Lawyer Bastian Pius Vendargon. who represented the Malaysian Bar, confirmed the new development when contacted.
It is unclear why Laidlaw wants to appeal when a five-member Federal Court bench chaired by Chief Justice Tengku Maimun Tuan Mat had already affirmed Najib’s conviction and sentence.
