A lawyer acting for former chancellor Nadhim Zahawi has denied improperly restricting a tax expert from discussing communications regarding the politician’s failure to pay tax.
Ashley Hurst, of law firm Osborne Clarke, faces a solicitors disciplinary tribunal over allegations that he sent an email and letter to Dan Neidle, founder of Tax Policy Associates, in which he “improperly attempted to restrict Mr Neidle’s right to publish that correspondence and/or discuss its contents”.
