Subject: Regina v. Simon Cordell ­ further application to vary bail and suspend curfew on 25th and
26th August 2013
Dear Simon / Lorraine

Simon it is my understanding that your mother is having internet difficulties at present. I sent over a
number of email this weekend which I will try to forward over to you from my trash box.

Re: application to remove reporting condition.

I confirm that I have lodged this application already.

Re: application to suspend curfew for 25th and 26th August 2013

Simon I have requested written confirmation from Omar Lawrence that you have been awarded the
contract together with the particulars of the contract as the Court will undoubtedly ask for this
information. There is also a risk that the Court / Police will check that the contract is genuine and this
may well entail telephoning Omar Lawrence to check the detail. It is not unusual for the court to
check bail addresses by analogy so I am merely putting you on notice of this fact.

I will not have any control over the information that is provided by the police to Mr Omar Lawrence
but they will have to identify themselves as police officers and this may raise questions about why
police are making these enquiries.

Your mother has explained that you may lose the contract as a result of this and unfortunately I do not
have any control over this.

The options therefore available to you are as follows:

(1) Attend the festival during the curfew hours and then go home
(2) Apply to the court to vary the electronic curfew and request that the court do not disclose details
of your criminal history or current court case. However Mr Lawrence may well wonder why an
enquiry has been made
(3) Do not make any application and take your chances ­ this is not advised as you will be arrested for
breaching your bail and there is a high risk of remand to prison until the conclusion of your case
(4) Discuss the matter with Omar Lawrence beforehand so that he is aware and he can confirm this in
the email to the court. The risk with this is that he may use you for this festival but may seek an
alternative resource next year
(5) The final option of course is not to make the application and attend in person during your curfew
hours and get an alternative person who you trust to look after your equipment overnight on 25th
August 2013. This option allows you to retain the potential for further contracts via your company,
ensures that future clients are not aware of your previous criminal history and will also safeguard any
future contracts with Enfield Council.

Clearly this is a matter that you need to consider very carefully and weigh up the pros and cons of
each option. I am aware how important this festival is to you and your business.

If you decide to make the application to vary bail then I will need the following from you by 15th
August 2013:

1. Letter from Omar Lawrence that you are hired for the festival
