again, this was days before the Appeal hearing was due to
start.
Solicitor wrote a letter and sent it to The Appellant and The
Appellant mother email on
20/09/2016
which had also been sent to the Court, putting an application
again to be removed from record. This was listed in Court to
be heard on the
21/09/2016
There were large sections within this letter that were
incorrect and did not happen, this can be proven by the
Court transcripts for the
16/09/2016
On the
21/01/2016
we were on our way to Court and got caught in traffic, we
contacted the Court to get a message to the Judge to say we
were going to be 5 to 10 minutes late, I know the Judge got

dealing with a trial and we would be called in after it.
Around 16:00 hours we were called into Court, the
Respondent did make the Judge aware at this point that what
had been said by His Honour Judge Morrison on the
19/02/2016
stating that a Senior Partner was not present at Court, The
Judge replied that he could not force a solicitor to carry on
with a case they clearly did not want to, and that The
Appellant could represent himself that the case was in much
better order now. But the Appellant has learning difficulties
and health problems which the Court are well aware of, there
was only a few days until the Appeal hearing was due to
start, how could a Judge believe that a person with learning
difficulties and health problems could be ready and cope
with dealing with a three-day Appeal hearing on his own.
We did try to get the Judge to adjourn the Appeal hearing so
we could try and get representation put in place due to
