The case investigations were dropped by British investigative agency Scotland Yard in October 2016.
Ministry of Law and Justice and Office of Attorney General of Pakistan approved Mr Cadman’s contract signed on February 1, 2018.

Toby Cadman also a co-founder of Guernica 37, a London based chamber with a particular focus on defending victims of human rights abuses nationally and internationally, would
- Represent Pakistan in three MQM-related cases in the UK. One is money laundering, second is hate speech and third is Imran Farooq murder case
- Act on behalf of the government of Pakistan in relation to all the matters related to Altaf Hussain
- Liaise with the UK Home Office, Scotland Yard and the British government
Mr. Cadman, who is an international law specialist, also defended former president Pervez Musharraf in treason trial case. Wajid Zia who is the head of Joint investigation Team (JIT), through Cadman verified hundreds of British documents related to the Panama case against Sharif family.
