Is not handing over a file and disobeying court order < or > lying to the Queen, Parliament and the public and withholding evidence?
In January 2020 Ms Khan criticised PC Stuart Outten, who was repeatedly slashed in a machete attack and defended himself using a Taser.
Ms Khan, who has represented people injured by Tasers, wrote on Twitter she was surprised the Metropolitan Police had not “started disciplinary action against PC Outten for assault and battery” against his attacker.
Her comments were condemned by the Metropolitan Police Federation, and PC Outten has since been given a national bravery award.
Couple of things in this article stood out like a sore thumb:
>Her Leicester-based firm was closed by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) in August while it investigates her for allegations of dishonesty… The BBC asked the SRA what the dishonesty allegations were, but a spokesman said *he could not give details* because the investigation was ongoing.
>In 2019 Ms Khan was barred from holding any position at the Law Society for five years, *although the Law Society has not said why*. She had previously been chair of its civil justice committee.
Why the complete secrecy from the law community? Why no transparency?
