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
