Page 457 - 2015 2nd Half No Table

Legal Aid was sent in over two weeks ago as previously advised. If they have not received /
processed the form that is outside my control. Clearly you are not familiar with the workings
of the Legal Aid Agency and the frequency with which they lose forms, or the amount of
time I waste on the phone to them making enquiries about legal aid applications previously
sent in. The Crown Court has been advised during a telephone conversation that the appeal
would be 2- 3 days as per the length the original hearing took. As previously advised
Lorraine all other work will be undertaken once legal aid has been granted otherwise, we will
not get paid for any backdated work. I submitted the appeal and that has been lodged. I did
not submit a court stamped form so will now have to get fresh form signed and date stamped
and I will only be paid from that date. Please indicate if Simon can attend my office on
Friday 9th October 2015 at 2pm with a full list of any new evidence he wants included in the
appeal hearing. In the intervening period of time I will get a “CRM” 14 date stamped.
Regards
Josephine

Hi Josey
Can you please update us about the legal aid, I have contacted them via email and phone,
civil and criminal, they don't have an application for legal aid for the appeal they have not
even been updated there is an appeal going ahead. I spoke today to Debbie Adams from
Criminal, and Civil sent me an email on the 22/09/2015 saying no application has been put in.
I was told the turnaround is 2 days to know if it has been granted Josey this was meant to
have been put in weeks ago. I cannot take no more of this please update me.

Hi Josey
I was wondering if you had heard anything from legal aid yet. Could you please deal with the
information below I have asked for over and over again?
Could I please get the case files, since this case started in Sep 2014 so I can see what has
been done?
The information about the medical records. A list of what was given the Magistrates for the
trail as Simon never had his own bundle for trail, we don't know what was in fact sent to the
court, we do know there was medical records lists 2 sets but the court did not seem to have
these, as there were a lot of things Given to Michael which we don't know if they were sent.
Could you please forward me the email to Superintendent Adrian Coombs from Essex police
that you said you was going to send weeks ago asking him about the statement. Forward me
the ema l you have sent to the crown court about the appeal updating them to how many days
you think the appeal will take and any person that are being called, I know you will not be
able to give them a full list as of yet as we don't yet have the statement from Superintendent
Adrian Coombs and information about the public order unit. I keep sending emails with lists
of things but you only every seem to reply to as little as you can and we never get an update
