94. Michael Carroll and Co had also not done or prepared a skeleton argument for the
Appellant's bundle, the Judge stated that the letter that had then been handed in could be
used as the Appellant's skeleton argument.
95. Miss Ward was sitting in the back of the Court taking notes of what was being asked by
the Judge and what was being said.
96. A meeting was meant to be arranged with the Appellant and the Public defender Mr
Morris; this was not done.
97. On the 12/07/2016: Informed by solicitor via email: -
98. “Please note that Mr Andrew Locke has returned from a career sabbatical and he has
agreed to deal with the Appeal against the imposition of an ASBO. I am in the process of
confirming a conference date with Mr Locke, hopefully within the next two weeks. I have
notified Mr Morris from the Public Defender Service that Mr Locke is your preferred
choice and I have requested the written submissions that he had prepared for the mention
hearing in April 2016 that you did not consent to or permit us to serve upon the
prosecution,
167,
instead your own document was served at your insistence and contrary to the advice given
by both Mr Andrew Morris and myself.
99. Please confirm any dates that you are not available so that this conference can be
arranged.
100. The meeting was never arranged with Mr Locke, the Appellant's agreed barrister,
until just before the Appeal date hearing, even though we kept asking for this to be
arranged.
101. I would like to say that no option was given to us about a preferred barrister and if any
person was to notice the date of the email then they would also notice that in a period of
time it was once upon a time three whole months that had escalated since the said:-
“mention hearing” referring to the date of the 04/04/2016, this is even through multiple
emails were continually being sent to Miss Ward, asking for things to be addressed and
dealt with in this case.
102. Emails were going unanswered for months by the acting solicitor firm, in fact since
the start of time in this case, which started in 2014. As for the list of police officer the
Appellant wanted to call Miss Ward had been told over and over the officer's names
required to be listed in the Asbo application case, this list of names contained officers
from the Public Order Investigation unit at Scotland Yard and maybe another officer such
as Superintendent Specialist Operations Adrian Coombs.
103. On the 14th August 2016 the Appellant was sectioned under section 2 of the mental
health act, he was then released later in August 2016, after a tribunal hearing and this was
also due to agreeing that he would work with the mental health doctors and teams, that
was put in place, he stated he would be willing to stay in hospital voluntarily, but due to
bed shortages, he was discharged home a day later, with a support team put into place, the
acting solicitors were made aware of this, and so was the Court in the September 2016,
when the Appellant was due to attend.
104. On 16 September 2016 the case was listed for a mention hearing for Non-Disclosure,
and also a meeting with Mr Locke the Appellant Barrister as he had not seen any barrister
since the 04/08/2015 hearing at the Magistrate's Court when the Antisocial Behaviour
Order was granted by the Judge with no legality found.
105. The Appellant was told by his acting solicitors to be at Court by 09:30 hours, but later
this was changed to 09:00 hours, this was so he could have a meeting with his barrister,
which he did agreed to do.
