EX TEMPORE Judgment (T.6081) 1. On 28 February 2019, I published a judgment which considered and dealt with an application made by the Accused for a stay of the trial until he was legally represented: see R v Warwick (No.64) [2010] NSWSC 163. 2. At that time, the only formal order which was made was to adjourn the proceedings to 6 March 2019 for further directions. This period enabled the Accused with the published reasons for judgment, to make a further application for legal aid.
