Edwin Coe is delighted to announce that Thomas Johnson has completed Advocate’s 25 for 25: Pro Bono Challenge. Advocate is the Bar’s pro bono charity which is celebrating its 25th anniversary and is challenging barristers to complete 25 pro bono hours for clients who are often in quite desperate situations.
Thomas was instructed to appear for an Iranian defendant at trial arising from allegations concerning conversion of sums received using ‘Havaleh’, an honour based ‘banking’ system.
Thomas achieved a positive result for the defendant and the claimant’s claim has been dismissed.
Further information on the 25 for 25: the Pro Bono Challenge is available on Advocate’s website.
