Dear Sir or Madam
We refer to the above matter. This case was last mentioned in court on 18th March 2014 and
on that occasion the Learned Judge made a number of directions. Statements and invoices
regarding the repair of the wall to be served by
21st March 2014
Not Served Statements from council to be served by
29th March 2014
Not served We attach a copy of the insurance file that we received from Mr Patel's insurance
company and note will no doubt be taken of the dates of the previous break ins and the
damage caused on previous dates prior to
May 2013
You will also no doubt note that there were no invoices submitted for any repairs during that
period of time and also the delay in the Patel's responding to the insurance claim. It has
always been our client's case that the damage caused to the wall and inside the building had
already been committed before he hired out his sound system for the private party. Our client
has always disputed causing the damage or having any knowledge as to how this damage was
caused. We further raise that other suspects forensically linked to the earlier offences were
released with no further action been taken against them. Mr Cordell has always maintained
that police officers attended with the noise abatement officers but we are yet to be provided
with the officer’s contact details or indeed the reason for their attendance. Clearly the issue is
why did the Police allow a party to go ahead if persons present were damaging a wall and
removing property. Mr Cordell feels like he is being singled out and made a scapegoat in this
case. He denies involvement in the burglary and this allegation is having an adverse effect not
only on his business but also on his mental health. We attach a copy of a letter confirming his
medical diagnosis from his GP.
805,
We respectfully request that the curfew condition be removed in its entirety as the curfew of
having an adverse effect on Mr Cordell's mental wellbeing. We request that the bail variation
be addressed tomorrow at the pretrial review hearing. Please confirm the listing at your
earliest convenience.
Yours faithfully
MICHAEL CARROLL & CO.
