The fight for truth and justice can too often be a hard and long struggle. Navigating the law is complex, and justice depends on lawyers who we can trust – lawyers who listen to our voices, stand up for us, and pursue the truth on our behalf.
Rajiv Menon KC is an experienced and highly respected barrister who has spent his career representing people like us. At some of the most traumatic times in our lives he has represented us with professionalism, integrity and compassion, ensuring that our voices were heard in inquests, inquiries and criminal trials.
We are all deeply shocked that Rajiv is facing contempt proceedings. As clients we must have confidence that our lawyers can represent us fearlessly and independently. This case risks undermining the fundamental relationship of trust and confidence between clients and their lawyers without which meaningful participation in the justice system is impossible.
We stand with Rajiv and believe that these proceedings must be dropped immediately.
