Our client's matter was listed at Woolwich Crown Court for a preliminary hearing and an application to vary our
client's bail conditions. The Learned Judge on that occasion refused to deal with the application to vary bail and
raised issues regarding why the surety was not present. He removed the surety requirement and our
understanding is that our client was admitted to bail on the same terms as before.
A number of issues have now arisen as a result of this. Serco attended to insert an electronic tag and this was
never a condition of our client's bail when he was granted bail by Woolwich Crown Court but a curfew with a
door step condition was imposed. Our client explained this to Serco who left. We clarified that this information
was accurate by reviewing the advocate's attendance note from 10th July and also receiving verbal confirmation
from Mr Lemosa to further verify this. When our client went to report to Edmonton Police Station in
compliance with his bail conditions he was arrested for breaching his bail in that he refused Serco entry to install
the electronic monitoring equipment. This was on 13th July 2013. Fortunately our client was able to produce a
copy of the bail notice from Woolwich Crown Court and also a copy of the advocate's court attendance note who
attended on 13th July 2013. He was released.
Ms Cordell contacted Serco and advise Jo badge number 3072 of this development and Serco will now wait
until Tuesday 16th July 2013 to receive clarification from the court.
Can you please list this case tomorrow 16th July 2013 in order that matters can be clarified.
We thank you in advance for your assistance in this matter and we await clarification of this.
Yours faithfully
MICHAEL CARROLL & CO.
