this to you.
If you are still willing represent him then he is fine with this, as he was only upset due to him
believing things was not being done in time and him believing this would impact his life for longer.
As he said the other day he is sorry for the disagreement that happened on the phone.
If you could let him know how you feel about this before 14.30 he would be grateful.

Hi Lorraine
Trevor Allway has indicated that he will view a section 35 request favourably. If he agrees that we
satisfy the criteria of section 35 then we will not have to resort to Third Party Disclosure as he
should disclose. We may still have to do Third Party disclosure if he redacts information that may
be relevant. A decision cannot be made on this until we receive either (a) the file from the
insurance company or (b) the insurance company is unwilling to disclose in which case Third party
Disclosure kicks in again.
The section 8 application was sent off today. I had asked Jemi to amend and he had not so I
amended it and sent it off.
Lorraine as Simon's case is in the warned list there is no guarantee that he will get Jemi to do the
trial. He is still booked to do the case but this is dependent on other cases not over running or him
being instructed in a week long case. Simon's conference with Jemi in December was a classic
example of this. He was dealing with a child neglect case which over ran and had Simon's case
been listed then Jemi would not have been able to do the case. Jemi or his Chambers may be
willing to do the case. The court can direct that legal representation stay in place for the purposes
of Counsel conducting Simon's trial and possibly for a pretrial conference but their diaries change
and this affects their availability.
I hope this clarifies.
Regards
Josephine
