(b) the insurance company is unwilling to disclose in which case Third party Disclosure
493,
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 weeklong 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.

Hi Josey
Thank you for the update but I am not sure what the email means to Trevor Allaway. Does

Really not sure what it means.

Subject: Regina v. Simon Cordell for mention at Woolwich Crown Court on
Dear Simon / Lorraine
Please note that your case is listed for mention at Woolwich Crown Court on
18th February 2014
The listing indicates that you must attend. Can you please confirm the details of your new
solicitors?
in order that I can email the court and confirm that we do not object to the proposed transfer
of legal representation. If you cannot locate a Solicitor to take over the case then we can
apply on this date to have legal representation revoked so that you can represent yourself, as
you have indicated you wish to. I stress that legal representation still covers Counsel and in a
case like this it is better to at least have representation from a barrister. The majority of the
work has been done on this case and the only outstanding issues are as follows:
1. Disclosure from Insurance company
2. Disclosure requests in the defence case statement
3. Bad character skeleton argument to oppose Jemi
will draft this as he will be arguing to exclude
the bad character. In relation to 1 and 2 above the items disclosed will assist with cross
examining witnesses.
I have forwarded emails sent to the CPS, Woolwich Crown Court and also to Mr. Trevor
Allaway. If
494,
you have any further questions then please do not hesitate to email me. I will still assist you
with the preparation of the defence until legal representation is revoked or transferred.
Regards
Josephine
