Good Morning,

[notnutnut]

I have a situation where i'm involved in several different court cases with another two starting soon. Since only one of these as yet has attracted any legal assistance I'm very 'thin on the ground' at present. Whenever I'm running late on a case and refer to the overall amount of cases as being part of the reason and say that I have to be able to prioritise the most important to me surely I'm told 'no, you need to prioritise this one'. But this can't work can it. Is there any guidance on this available is what I ask ? Thank you for help in advance.
NNN.

[bednobs]

are these all criminal cases?

[New Judge]

In what manner are you "involved"? As a defendant, as a witness, or what?

[EDDIE51]

What do you mean by 'involved in' are you the accused , the defendant or a witness ? Can you list the cases (not necessarily details, just case 1 defendant , case 2 witness and so on) The dates will be important as well.
I have to ask, do you have a solicitor?
Very hard to help without more detail!

[Jackdaw33]

Sounds to me as though he is a solicitor.

[New Judge]

Then he should not need help from AB-ers to prioritise his cases and allocate his time.

[Islay]

Jackdaw, I really hope he is not!

We are missing some vital info here before any advice can be given.

NJ, I have helped notnutnut several times , he has major problems of his own as well as an unemployed son who has criminal cases outstanding and refuses to try and help himself. I think you have helped him as well.
This could be a ' long one'

[Jackdaw33]

Clearly I was wrong.

[notnutnut]

Thank you all for the flurry of assistance. I'll try and clarify the points you raise in them. bednobs, no, only one is a criminal case, that being non-compliance with a council enforcement notice, pleaded not guilty 'cause I am. It's the case that has earned me the EMS bling 'round my ankle 'to ensure my attendance at court' (I missed one court appearance but for a valid medical reason that was not challenged) How a curfew tag does this is as yet unanswered despite three bail variation apps.by myself. I did suggest to the prosecutor direct by email that I believed that these bail conditions were being used for the benefit of another unrelated case and that this was in my humble opinion an 'abuse of process'. No reply on that as yet. New Judge and EDDIE51, in the criminal case I'm the defendant, in the civil cases I am claimant, defendant, applicant and general litigation magnet I think. I can't give you dates of at present from memory and i'm on the school run pretty soon but I'm happy to provide. Jackdaw33, no I'm not a solicitor though I was asked if I was by a chap who works for London Underground at Holborn station on my way to RCJ if I was. Islay, ask for whatever detail you need please. Baldric, thanks for the link/redirect. EDDIE51, as far as I'm aware the only major problems I have are the two civil cases ? It's correct that i do have a son but he has never been unemployed and has never had any encounters with the law let alone any outstanding court cases ? You are correct however that this could be a 'long one'. Thanks to you all for the help you give, please keep it coming,
NNN.

[bednobs]

with the limited details given, surely the criminal case MUST take precedence always?

[notnutnut]

Bednobs, I see your point to a degree but (apart from the fact I'm not guilty) it is a very minor offence that soaks up much of my time at present and prevents me dealing with more important matters, to me at least. Any thoughts on this please; http://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/Law/Question1524224.html

[EDDIE51]

Sorry nnn got you confused with another AB member who has a lot of 'court' problems.
I am sure I heard somewhere that criminal cases take priority over civil cases, but that is probably not what you meant.
