Two Leeds doormen appeared before Leeds Magistrates Court for Trial in July, being jointly charged with an offence of Section 4 public order.  Following lengthy legal argument from Mr Upkar Bahia, Sole Principle of KBS Solicitors, both men had all charges against them dismissed.  On the face of it the two doormen were not charged with the most serious of offences, however the impact of a conviction would have been significant to both.  A conviction would have resulted in the revocation of their SIA licences and, in turn, a loss of their livelihood.

Leading Counsel Mr Sukhdev Garcha of St John’s Chambers, Sheffield (instructed by KBS Solicitors) leads the argument for the defence team opposing the prosecution application to have the statements of the victims in this case read to the jury.  It had been alleged by the victims that a third party had told them that they would be shot if they came to court to give evidence.  Under pressure from the expertise of defence counsel the prosecution conceded the argument and offered no evidence, securing all the clients an acquittal.
