Hi.



I posted in the legal part but not sure how much that's looked at?



I wanted to find out how much were actually entitled to with legal aid because our solicitor basically replied to an issue with his costs.





Another thing...



I've just heard off the person who I deal with for info because the oic doesn't want me asking him.. that the reason for our latest appeal was because they're waiting on a date from magistrates Court. My person was told its delayed because they haven't got the phone back from forensics and nothing about the court.



We've not been told about waiting for a court hearing until now.



Surely this would be told to us? Or we would have been told that it's being taken further or something? As far as we know they haven't even finished looking through his phone??



She's messaged me when she finished work so I can't ask any questions... don't you just love that they do that.

Thanks for replying!

No charges other than the thing at the beginning. Is that a charge? We've not been told anything has gone to cps.

The latest he was told by his oic was that things were not back yet so not sure how it can go to cps before that or how he has a trial before that?



Just asked him and it's under investigation still.

Yeah he's on bail and it's been extended.



Ah that makes sense. It's just all so inconsistent.



The SW said something about custody not the NCA who made the application and they hope the court will set a date soon. So I haven't got a clue what they're doing.



It just feels like they can do and say anything they want and don't have to be held accountable.
