3.1 In this paragraph:

(1) a lawyer means a barrister, a solicitor or a legal executive employed by a solicitor or any other person authorised under the Legal Services Act 2007 to act as a litigator or advocate; and

(2) a lay representative means any other person.

3.2

(1) A party may present his own case at a hearing or a lawyer or lay representative may present it for him.

(a) where his client does not attend the hearing;

(b) at any stage after judgment; or

(c) on any appeal brought against any decision made by the district judge in the proceedings.

Yes he’s with me. I’ve just been to see the receptionist again. They said I’ll def be allowed in but may not be able to speak on his behalf. I said he’s prepared to answer Qs but just wants me theee as support and to keep him on track. She said she will speak to the judge.

Thanks IamEmanesru.

Good Luck.
