As provided for by Rule 63(1) of the Rules, KSC President Ekaterina Trendafilova, on 22 November 2023, formally warned Toby Cadman, Counsel for Nasim Haradinaj, after he disclosed confidential information to media. Cadman gave an interview to a Kosovo outlet in November and revealed information that was redacted in the publicly available decision from 17 October related to the modification of Nasim Haradinaj’s sentence. Since Cadman was reminded of his obligations in this respect but has nevertheless disclosed the confidential information, President Trendafilova considered it necessary to formally warn him as his act demonstrated a failure to meet the standard of professional ethnics. The President also reminded Cadman of his obligations as specified in the Code of Professional Conduct as well as about further steps that may be undertaken if he does not adhere to his professional obligations as Counsel practicing before the Specialist Chambers.
Here is the full decision.
