Appeal hearing, They could also not get a Barrister, and did
not want to meet with the client. His Honour Judge Morrison
had never heard that solicitors that could not get a barrister
and ordered that a Public Defender took over the case to act
for The Appellant. Three-day Appeal hearing listed for
22/02/2016
23/02/2016
And
24/02/2016
Mr Morris acting Public Defender attended Court on this day
to act for The Appellant; The Appellant had not met Mr
Morris before this date. Mr Morris had only had the case
since the
19/02/2016
and was not ready for the 3-day Appeal hearing. He wanted
time to be able to go over all the large case bundles and be
able to sit down and talk to The Appellant, so asked for an
adjournment. HHJ-PAWLAK was very unsympathetic and
said he had the weekend to get ready for this case and that
the Appeal would go ahead. Considering this was the Public
Defender that His Honour Judge Morrison had allocated to
the case only 3 days beforehand it seemed that The
Appellant was the one being penalised for the incompetence
of his acting solicitors Michael Carroll & Co. The
Appellant’s health had deteriorated considerably due to what
was happening within this case and other issues, the mental
health team had obtained a section 135 warrant under the
mental health act and it was only because of the disdain
towards The Appellant, The Appellants Mother had to hand
this to his acting barrister to give to the Judge, knowing this
would cause a huge rift between The Appellant and his
mother. But she had no option as the Judge was going to
force the Appeal hearing to go ahead, when The Appellant
mother knew The Appellant would not cope and that they
had only just got the case handed to him and was not ready
he had not even meet with The Appellant. Upon Mr Morris
handing the documents to the Judge the Judge then unwilling
adjourned the Appeal hearing until the
26/09/2016
for a 3-day hearing. The Judge listed the case for a mention
hearing also on the
04/04/2016
after this Court hearing HHJ-PAWLAK wrote a letter to the
acting solicitors Michael Carroll and co that had to be
