Nope. The op says they didn't receive a summons and therefore didn't have a chance to contest their case. It's the court's decision whether to allow the case to be reopened but the OP (or his legal representatives) can certainly apply.

If the statutory declaration is accepted, the original case becomes void, the court may agree to re-open the case, but it would be up to the DVLA to re-commence proceedings or not.

If the court have declared the original case void, why would the OP want it re-opened?

I work in a criminal solicitors office.......

You often post legal advice (in an authoritative manner) which has to be subsequently corrected .


Now you tell us you are correct (you are actually wrong again) because you are an employee in a solicitor's office.


In what capacity?

You're right. I am confusing the statutory declaration procedure with simply asking for a case to be reopened. What I posted is correct insofar as you can ask the court to reopen a case - seems like it is an alternative to making a statutory declaration to have the conviction quashed.

We've done this so many times.

I didn't say I was correct because I work in a solicitors office. Was just recounting my experiences with courts reopening cases at work.

The majority of my knowledge about magistrates court procedures is just through clerical work on files / liaising with courts etc., so I'm not an expert.
