Imad Qazi was given a fully suspended four-year sentence after pleading guilty to two counts of harassing his solicitor and a legal executive between September 2019 and January 2024. The harassment involved repeated calls, emails and social media posts, along with hundreds of leaflets posted on Dublin lamp-posts, the court heard.

Judge Martina Baxter ordered Qazi to remain under Probation Service supervision for 18 months, complete victim-focused work and address his mental health issues. She also barred him from contacting the complainants, directly or indirectly, for five years. The court heard he had no previous convictions and had been assessed as posing a low risk of reoffending.
