           Simon

           Please accept this email as written  confirmation  that I am no longer prepared to represent you.  I am satisfied
           that there has been a complete breakdown in solicitor / client relationship.  I also have concerns as to your
           capacity to follow and participate in the appeal proceedings.

           You are unwilling or incapable of listening to advice.  You have questioned my professional and personal
           integrity. I have represented you for a very long time and continued to represent you in these proceedings
           because of the regard  and respect that I have for your mother.

           In April 2016 I requested that you be assessed by a Psychiatrist or give me access  to your medical notes which
           you refused to do.  You threatened to blacken  my name on the Internet  if I raised the issue again.   You were
           recently sectioned in St Anne's hospital and you challenged that section and were released.  I believe that you
           are not able to listen to advice.  I believe that you are incapable of participating in proceedings. You insist on
           arguing points that are irrelevant and detrimental to your case.  You do not allow the conferences to move on.

           The allegation against you simply is that you organised raves / parties that caused antisocial or had the potential
           to cause anti social behaviour. See schedule  forwarded to you on Friday. All the matters alleged you have
           already provided instructions and challenges to the allegations.  Put as simply as possible you deny organising,
           providing sound equipment or sourcing premises for the purposes of holding raves / Parties.  You challenged
           whether the events in question are illegal raves as trespass is not present.  This argument has no bearing on your
           case as you deny and have repeatedly denied sourcing premises, providing equipment or organising any of the
           events with the exception of Mill Marsh Lane which you accept you were present for a small birthday party
           gathering  (again no witness statement  / witness details provided)

           I have advised you that it is my view that regardless of whether  Progress Way was a private party (LAPSO
           loophole) or a rave the bottom line is that anti social behaviour was caused due to noise nuisance / disorderly
           conduct.

           You seek to use the appeal proceedings to challenge  the law by arguing that any person living in a commercial
           building under a LAPSO  notice can hold moving in parties.  They  are not holding a rave as trespass is not
           present but they are causing anti social behaviour to neighbouring residents when they hold events that cause
           extreme noise etc.  On  no occasion during your instructions did you say that you were living on the premises,
           nor did you state that your sound system had been  seized.

           You are appealing against the Magistrates Court decision that you organised these events, provided sound
           equipment or sourced premises.

           You wish to introduce topics that have no bearing to the narrow issue which  is did you organise or provide
           equipment for these events, which if they went ahead would or had the potential of causing anti social
           behaviour.  I am under no obligation to argue points that are not relevant to your appeal.

           I have copied Michael Carroll in in this email and you must now communicate with him as our relationship has
           irretrievably broken down.

           The case is listed again for disclosure if required on Wednesday before HHJ PAWLAK. A disclosure request
           must be submitted by Michael Carroll & Co before 4pm on Monday 19th September 2016 with the Respondent
           replying by 20th September 2016.

           Andrew Locke is declining to represent you also as he cannot hold a meaningful conference with you.  You
           reject advice and have called me a liar.
