the 19/02/2016 again just before the trial was due to start on the 22/02/2016 and had been
dismissed by His Honour Judge Morrison sitting that day and notes put by His Honour Judge
Morrison, If any attempt is made to repeat this application the Court will require it to be made
in person by the Senior Partner of Michael Carroll & Co. You said you could not force a
solicitor to act against their will, but no acting Senior Partner of Michael Carroll & Co was in
court.
We at this point we asked for an adjournment of the 3 day Appeal hearing that was due to
start on the 26/09/2016 to get a new solicitor put in place which you refused to do and stated
my son could do this himself, there was great concern with this due to my son’s learning
problems not being able to read and write and health problems which you was aware of.
In fact my son could not even attend court due to this on the 26/09/2016 due to what this had
done to him and made him so ill I had to write a letter to yourself which on the 26/09/2016
had to be addressed by you.

At that hearing I told you I had spent days calling solicitors trying to get one put in place and
no one would take the case on due to this being at appeal stage and how much legal Aid paid
for appeal hearings and I was being told we would have to pay private to get a solicitor so my
son could have a barrister put in place for the appeal hearing to act for him, you said due to
the letter I had written you had 3 option open to you and believed this would go to judicial
review.
1. Carry on with the Appeal hearing in the hope my son would turn up the next day
27/09/2016.
2. Dismiss the Appeal.
3. Adjourn the Appeal to a later date.
You choose to adjourn the Appeal to a later date to start on the 16/01/2017 and said for us to
get a solicitor which you said you would help with and make sure legal aid was in place.
Issues were also raised about the bundles we were working from which were old Respondent
bundles and files being missing. (It was not wonder the solicitors wanted to dismiss
themselves) We had worked that out when waiting to be called into court with the
Respondent barrister. You order that the solicitor hand the bundles over to us that day. And
set a date for us to come back to court to check we were all working from the same bundles. I
believe this date was the 14/10/2016.
Upon getting the bundles from the solicitors it was noted that my own son’s bundle had not
been updated since Dec 2015. I tried to add the documents that were missing myself and
make new indexes up but knew there were still missing documents. It was also noticed that
the Respondent bundles we were working from there was around 13 missing statements we
had never seen before all dated before the full hearing on the 03/08/2015 and 04/08/2015 at
the lower court that we had never seen before.
On the 14/10/2016 you were informed of this and ordered the solicitors to attend court I
believe this date was for the 19/10/2016 the Appeal hearing date was also changed to start on
the 17/01/2017 for 3 days.
Again you were told the problems I was having trying to get a new solicitor to take this case
on.
I tried again to contact the solicitors to work out what was missing so I could add it and they
did not get back to me.
On the 19/10/2016 the solicitors did not turn up at court which you were not please about I
had tried to add and index as much documents as I could but could not be sure 100% if I had
all the missing documents.
