Hi Josey
I got a reply from the court about re opening the case for Simon see Below.

Subject: RE: Wrongful conviction and request to set aside the conviction and reopen the case
Dear Mr Cordell,
I am in receipt of your email; these have been printed off and passed to the reopening section to deal with.
There is a backlog due to the huge number of requests to reopen, but you will hear from someone in due
course.
regards,

Subject: Wrongful conviction and request to set aside the conviction and reopen the case
Dear Sir or Madam
I have emailed your court on several occasions regarding my conviction and sentence for no insurance.
I am making this request to have my case listed in order that I can do the following;:
1. Application to set aside the conviction
2. Reopen the case Application to set aside the conviction: On 22nd July 2012
I was stopped and given a producer by the police as they did not believe that I held a valid policy of
insurance. I attended the police station, and I was advised that my case would be going to court, and I would
be summonsed in due course. I never received any summons in relation to this matter and I only became
aware that the case had been dealt with in my absence when I received a letter from the DVLA advising me
that I had to send in my driving licence. I disputed with the DVLA the points, but I was given an ultimatum
that if I did not send in my licence it would be revoked. I therefore had no choice but to send in my licence.
I immediately contacted the Court by telephone, and I was advised to send an email. I sent in a number of
emails, and I have been given a number of emails, but I have not received any confirmation from the court. I
forwarded a copy of my insurance policy to the court and again this was ignored. The offence of no
insurance was allegedly committed on 22nd July 2012.
I had a valid policy of insurance from 23rd March 2012 and this policy was valid until 22nd February
2013.
The company insuring me was Tradex Insurance Company Limited. I am the named policy holder, Mr.
Simon Cordell and my policy number are L/WST/MTP/0192359. I have points on my licence which I
should not have. Can you please as a matter of urgency email me back on this matter so that I can have a
date so that the conviction can be set aside, and my case heard in order that I can show the court my
insurance and the PLO can make the necessary enquiries. Once this has happened, I would be grateful if the
court could email the DVLA to advise them that the points have been issued in error and the fine be set
aside also. This matter is urgent and is dragging on. I cannot resolve this matter until the case is listed
before either a District Judge or Magistrates so I would appreciate your cooperation. I am very disappointed
that you have ignored all my emails. This is causing me stress. Can you now please resolve this legal mater
by listing the case for an application to set aside the conviction?
I can then forward my documents to the relevant prosecuting authority.
I await hearing from you in relation to this matter and I thank you in advance for your anticipated
co=operation in this matter.
