Instructing solicitor, whistleblowing and dismissal (June 2022).
- “First of all, I must express my Gratitude to you for all what you have done for me in these proceedings. I have thought carefully about the time that you have invested, and your expertise that you have put in this case, notably; your amended grounds of appeal, numerous case authorities, your detailed skeleton arguments which you prepared for the proceedings in May 2021, and on 31 March 2022. I also note your meticulous review of this case throughout - providing me timely and precious guidance as to steps to take. I note also your preparation and presentation of my appeal in May 2021, and on 31 March 2022 - which I watched carefully. I observed the judge (at the latter hearing) pressing you on various aspects of the appeal, which you (using the words in EAT judgment) held your "mettle", and politely but firmly advanced your arguments in support of each appeal. It is this approach, which I observed, which resulted in the successful appeal on the ground of "bias" - which you observed "winning on bias is very rare". Indeed, the EAT judge repeats your very statements/points which you advanced at the hearing in the EAT judgment. Thank you! This case has been about clearing my name, which primarily through your unwavering assistance and expertise (above stated) this has been achieved. I am Grateful! I remain indebted to you. I wish you sincere "Best Wishes" in your professional work, and in assisting others who are in need of your expertise. I will unreservedly recommend you to anyone seeking representation in this area of the law.”

There will be some that will follow instructions and stick strictly to the terms of the brief and then there are souls like Mukhtiar who walk the journey with you and do more than the professional relationship requires.”
