the legal aid had not been revoked. The Judge stated I’m
                 sure that you can be ready for the Appeal to go ahead by
                 tomorrow, the barrister stated that they have a professional
                 obligation to act in the best interest of the client and that
                 they would not have enough time in order to go over all the
                 bundles take instructions from the client, and instruct a
                 barrister within half a day, and also to check fully whether a
                 new legal aid application would need to be applied for. At
                 this the Judge stated well if you cannot be ready by
                 tomorrow, then The Appellant will have to act for himself,
                 we will not adjourn the Appeal again.  It seems again The
                 Appellant was being put at blame for the delay in the
                 Appeal, but it was not due to The Appellant, The Appellant
                 only wanted a fair hearing and Appeal from when this
                 started in
                 2014
                 and from what was going on this clearly had not been. The
                 barrister tried his hardest to get an adjournment of the
                 Appeal but the Judge would not allow an adjournment, the
                 Judge started talking about the conditions that was imposed
                 by the Magistrates Court, he stated that he felt that parts was
                 disproportionate, but he could see nothing wrong with the
                 timescale of the Antisocial Behaviour Order of 5 years was.
                 This was not the first time the Judge had mentioned the
                 conditions that The Appellant was under, but this time the
                 Judge went further to include what sections he thought were
                 disproportional, to the people in the Court The Appellant,
                 Mr A Cordell, Miss L Cordell, and The Appellants barrister,
                 the only way of looking at what the Judge was stating he had
                 already made his mind up that he thought the conditions was
                 the only problem. But this was before the Appeal had even
                 been heard, why a Judge would state this without even
                 hearing the Appeal. The Judge would not allow an
                 adjournment and stated The Appellant could represent
                 himself if the barrister could not be ready by 10 0’clock the
                 next morning, Judge raised and left the Courtroom. The
                 Appellant was in such a state when we left the Courtroom,
                 he stated he knew the Judge would not allow the
                 adjournment and felt the Judge did not want him to have
                 representation and this is why the Judge removed his old
                 solicitors, he felt very let down and just wanted to go home.
                 The barrister called as into a side room and had to ask The
                 Appellant due to what the Judge has said, if they were to
                 change the conditions to something appropriate would The
                 Appellant accept it. This put further stress on The Appellant,
                 The Appellant knew he had done nothing wrong and had not
                 done what the police was saying he had done the Appellant
                 knew that if the disclosure had been given it would have
                 proven this. The police have been unwilling to give any
                 disclosure since this case started. The Appellant was not
