The Solicitors’ Disciplinary Tribunal (SDT) has today (9 June) cleared Leigh Day and three of its lawyers accused of professional misconduct relating to allegedly pursuing false damages claims of torture and murder made by Iraqi civilians against British troops in Iraq.
The three partners, co-founder Martyn Day, partner Sapna Malik and assistant solicitor Anna Crowther, alongside the firm at large, were found not guilty of all 20 allegations against them and their handling of claims brought against the Ministry of Defence.
