kicks in again.

The section 8 application was sent off today. I had asked Jemi to amend and he had not so I amended
it and sent it off.

Lorraine as Simon's case is in the warned list there is no guarantee that he will get Jemi to do the trial.
He is still booked to do the case but this is dependent on other cases not over running or him being
instructed in a week long case. Simon's conference with Jemi in December was a classic example of
this. He was dealing with a child neglect case which over ran and had Simon's case been listed then
Jemi would not have been able to do the case. Jemi or his Chambers may be willing to do the case.
The court can direct that legal representation stay in place for the purposes of Counsel conducting
Simon's trial and possibly for a pre­trial conference but their diaries change and this affects their
availability.

I hope this clarifies.

Regards

Josephine

Hi Josey

Thank you for the update but I am not sure what the email means to Trevor Allway. Does this mean they will

give you the file without 3 party? Really not sure what it means.

Dear Simon / Lorraine

Please note that your case is listed for mention at Woolwich Crown Court on 18th February 2014.
The listing indicates that you must attend. Can you please confirm the details of your new solicitors
in order that I can email the court and confirm that we do not object to the proposed transfer of legal
representation. If you cannot locate a Solicitor to take over the case then we can apply on this date to
have legal representation revoked so that you can represent yourself, as you have indicated you wish
to.

I stress that legal representation still covers Counsel and in a case like this it is better to at least have
representation from a barrister. The majority of the work has been done on this case and the only
outstanding issues are as follows:

1. Disclosure from Insurance company
2. Disclosure requests in the defence case statement
3. Bad character skeleton argument to oppose ­ Jemi will draft this as he will be arguing to exclude
the bad character.

In relation to 1 and 2 above the items disclosed will assist with cross examining witnesses.

I have forwarded emails sent to the CPS, Woolwich Crown Court and also to Mr Trevor Allway. If
