when the application went into the court a bail application was meant to have been done at
the same time for my bail conditions over the holidays that where upcoming. For some reason
the bail application was not heard so you relisted this for
23/12/2013
to be heard by the court, you sent a text to my mum after you found out the outcome of this
bail application in which you said I was on an electric tag to my mum address, and that the
curfew was not lifted that Serco would come to my mums address to install the tag there. I
got very upset with hearing this as I for one reason I was never on an electric tag for this case
from the start of it. I did try and call you and I got no reply so I called the court explained to
the court the issues I had and was advised to call my solicitor and ask them to relist the case
for the
24/12/2013
this would need to be done within the next 20 mins. I then called the office and explained this
to someone in the office and was told I would get a call back. I did not get a call back but at
around 21.47 that evening you texted my mum saying that Simon needed to be at Woolwich
crown court at 09.45 on the
24/12/2013.
On the
24/12/2013
I went to court and my mum come with me, when we got there, we were told the case was not
listed before 11am. So we waited at the court at around 10.50 as a barrister had not turned up
for me my mum texted for to ask the name of the barrister that would be coming that we were
outside court 7 waiting, there was no reply to this text so at around 11.10 I made a call to the
office and spoke to someone there that told me a barrister would not be attending, I was really
upset with this but what could I say. I then saw the usher of the court and told her what was
going on, she said why had the solicitors told me to come here and yet new there would not
be a barrister and not tell me this beforehand, she told me she would talk to the crown who
was in the court room and explain to him what was going on and then let me know what
could be done. About 5 mins later she came out of the court room and told me that the crown
was going to call it on and see what could be done. It was called into court and when the
judge heard I did not have a barrister she asked the clerk of the court to call the office and see
what was going on, which the clerk on the court did, when she got off the phone she told the
judge no one was coming to the court for me. I stood up and tried to explain to the judge what
had gone on. My mum at this asked the judge if she could explain it and the judge said yes to
come forward, she could hear what my mum was saying. My mum explained to the judge
about the
19/12/2013
and the
23/12.2013
the judge was at loss of what could be done as the rule that had been made on the
23/01/2014
she could not change as this would be dealing with a judicial review and she could not hear
that. The crown then asked if he could speak to the judge and said that due to new evidence,
she could hear it on them grounds. The judge at that replied yes, she would like to hear this,
but I did not have a barrister she then went on to ask the
447,
barristers in the court room would they be willing to represent me and told them that I had
legal aid and that it would be marked on the file. One stood up and said yes, she would stand
in. the judge then said to us to go outside with the barrister and speak to her and when ready
it would go back into court. We went out explained to the barrister what was going on. She
