Syed Uzeir Iqbal faced prosecution after multiple complaints regarding his dogs barking excessively. Following an abatement notice from Barking and Dagenham Council, investigations revealed the property was used as a kennel for security dogs. Despite the notice, further complaints led to a penalty notice, which Iqbal ignored. Eventually, he was summoned to court for failing to address the statutory nuisance and was found guilty in absentia, leading to a total fine of almost £2,000 that he must pay to the council.
