tried to stop him to expand to him what my concerns were
(As we had not had a moment to talk) and I was concerned
about the disclosure that was going to be asked for. I asked
Mr Locke if he could ask the Judge to adjourn the case for 5
or 10 minutes so we could speak which he replied “no that
the hearing was only for disclosure about the schedule”, I
said “I knew this was not correct and this was one of the
reason I wanted to speak to him about” and again asked “if
he would ask the Judge to postpone for 10 minutes” he yet
again said “no”, at which point I asked “why he did not want
to speak to me, and should I act for myself ”?
He had no time to talk to me but then spent around 4 minutes
talking to Ms Ward on the phone and before ending this call
he asked me if I was also was dismissing my solicitors
which I replied no, Mr Locke then started to walk towards
the Courtroom, we followed the barrister into Court and on
entering the Court in a raised voice The Appellant said to Mr
Locke (who was ahead of him) so am I acting for myself
then? He never replied to me just proceeded to talk to the
Judge then walked toward the door and ushered us out. At
this point I had no idea what was going on but proceeded to
follow him outside the Court room, it was at this point he
turned around and said quite curtly “I do not want you to
speak”, as we got closer to him he also informed The
Appellant it was not good to shout out in open Court which
The Appellant had to agree with, but The Appellant felt so
let down and it seemed his barrister did not even want to talk
to The Appellant, so much had already gone wrong with this
case, and The Appellant felt very nervous as he did not
know what was going on or what would be said as he had
not spoken to his barrister. My mother who had witnessed all
of this tried to explain to The Appellant barrister what The
Appellant wanted to say about the Non-disclosure and asked
Mr Locke to explain what the schedule is. I also asked about
the two article 6’s which have never been addressed by the
Court which pertains to my Human Rights and my rights to a
speedy and fair trial that had been handed to the Court at
earlier hearings as I knew Mr Locke knew nothing about
these. He explained that the schedule was what the Judge
had asked for on the
04/04/2016
my mother replied this was not all the Judge had asked for.
Without replying Mr Locke walked towards the Courtroom
we followed and it was at this point The Appellant said to
the barrister I feel I should represent myself because I feel I
was not being heard. All the Appellant wanted was to be
able to speak to his barrister, so that he knew what had been
said at the earlier hearing on the
04/04/2016
