This sounds like a threat. I remember reading that before a new team undertakes the task, it (the new team) must be confident that it can represent the client and is ready to start the representation without causing any delays.
ReplyDeleteThis is all a preplanned stratagem by Najib and his team to blackmail the Court to delay the hearings for his appeal.
ReplyDeleteNajib made his own choice to change his legal team . This does not fall under the category of"circumstance beyond his control", so the Court has no obligation to grant a delay in the Appeal.
Najib thinks the Federal Court is his playground.
