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
