Bankside Law represents Metropolitan Police Authority in Ali Dizaei Disciplinary Proceedings

Bankside Law (John Williams) received instructions from the Metropolitan Police Authority to act as the independent solicitor in the disciplinary proceedings brought against former Metropolitan Police Commander Ali Dizaei.

The case was dealt with by way of a fast track special procedure and was heard before a Police Disciplinary Tribunal on 26th March 2010 when an application to adjourn was refused. The Tribunal found that his behaviour fell below the appropriate standard by virtue of the convictions and recommended dismissal. On the 31st March 2010 the Metropolitan Police Authority considered the recommendation from the Tribunal and dismissed Mr Dizaei.

Counsel instructed was Paul Ozin of 23 Essex Street. For further information and comment see the Telegraph article here.
