Lorraine,
Thank you for your email.
It may help if I firstly, explain that the Official Solicitor will only act as a litigation friend if:
• nobody else is suitable and willing to be litigation friend.
• there's money available to pay the Official Solicitor's costs, e.g. legal aid.
• the person's doctor or another medical professional, e.g. their psychiatrist, confirms they
lack capacity to manage the case.
The Official Solicitor was contacted on 30 April 2019 by Enfield Council regarding
possession proceedings against your son, Simon Cordell. However, after contacting the
representatives for Simon, Tyrer Roxburgh, the solicitor with conduct of this matter, Mr
Ronak Ahmed advised that you, Simon's mother, is willing and suitable to act as his litigation
friend in these proceeding and as such the Official Solicitor's last resort criteria was not met.
Consequently, Enfield Council were requested to contact Mr Ronak Ahmed and were also
notified that we would close our file.
I am sorry that you were misinformed. This may have been because a search was not
undertaken to check the closed cases on the system. Please accept my apologises for this
oversight.
I trust this clarifies the situation.
Regards,
Bina.

To Whom It May Concern:
I am writing this email after a call I made to your offices this morning where I was told no
application had been made regarding my son Mr Simon Cordell DOB: 26/01/1981 address
109 Burncroft Avenue, Enfield EN3 7JQ to act in court proceedings as a Litigation Friend for
a Claim for Possession of my son's home 109 Burncroft Avenue, Enfield EN3 7JQ by Enfield
Council.
On the 8 March 2019 the court ordered that Enfield Council contract The Official Solicitor
and ask if The Official Solicitor to consider whether they are prepared to act as Litigation
Friend for the Defendant.
