court timescale for driving without due care and attention
Comments
-
The Police have to lay information before the court within 6 months of the alleged offence date. The courts, depending on the area, can take up to 5-6 weeks to process that information to produce a summons.Does anyone know if there is a timescale that a case for driving without due care and attention can be brought to court?
I was under the impression that it was 6 months, but cant find anything.
The hearing date will then be two or three weeks later, unless you are going with a not guilty plea, in which case they will give you a new date which gives the prosecution time to submit all their evidence, and for you to outline your defence.
I have been providing assistance, including Lay Representation at Court hearings (current score: won 57, lost 14), to defendants in parking cases for over 5 years. I have an LLB (Hons) degree, and have a Graduate Diploma in Civil Litigation from CILEx. However, any advice given on these forums by me is NOT formal legal advice, and I accept no liability for its accuracy.0
