A man accused of injuring his neighbour in a street brawl allegedly involving a knife and hatchet hasn't been in contact with his lawyer, a court heard.
The case against Kevin Benjamin Norman, represented by defence solicitor Riley Owen, went before Tweed Heads Local Court on December 21.
Mr Norman has previously entered pleas of not guilty to malicious wounding and affray.
Police will allege the 34-year-old approached his 31-year-old neighbour who was standing on his front porch stairs in Yale St, Kingscliff about 4.30pm on October 30.
They will allege an argument began between the two men and Mr Norman pulled a small black-handled folding knife from his shorts pocket.
