In brief, the procedure would be that the administrators themselves will send out standard letters/questionnaires to prisoners seeking assistance, and will write to the relevant Courts and authorities in Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago seeking copies of transcripts, appeal documents and other papers, liaising with local attorneys as appropriate.

If there are sufficient merits to seek permission to appeal etc., then the administrators would provide the written opinion and all the relevant paperwork to a solicitor within one of the London firms, who would then be able to work with the existing London counsel advising on the matter. The know-how needed by the London solicitor would principally concern the information needed to take the case forward from this point. They would be able to use standard form letters of engagement. The administrators would be able to work with contacts on the ground in Jamaica/Trinidad and Tobago to procure signatures where for any reason contact with the prisoner proves to be problematic.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]]]>
