Hi Lorraine
Trevor Allaway has indicated that he will view a section 35 request favourably. If he agrees
that we satisfy the criteria of section 35 then we will not have to resort to Third Party
Disclosure as he should disclose. We may still have to do Third Party disclosure if he redacts
information that may be relevant. A decision cannot be made on this until we receive either
(a) the file from the insurance company or
(b) the insurance company is unwilling to disclose in which case Third party Disclosure 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.
Regards
Josephine

Hi Josey
Thank you for the update but I am not sure what the email means to Trevor Allaway. Does
this mean they will give you the file without 3rd party?
Really not sure what it means.

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
