Thread: Court...

Cheers guys :happy:

Will let you know how i get on. I had never stepped foot into a court in my life until this year, earlier on in the year i had jury duty for 2 weeks and now this :laugh:

As your coach would say, remember to breathe!!!!

Cheers dude :thumb

btw you wouldn't know what the deal is with court fees is do you? No one has really explained it to me.

That is a real hit and miss question. As it wont be a long trial they could be as minimal as about £15 if anything, although they can be higher. Prosecution may make an application for costs but you will only know on the day what they may or may not ask for.
That is a long winded way of saying 'Who Knows!'

For example burglars can get upto 14years they normally get far far less than that if anything..But take my point. Admit it, be honest and say you hadn't realised it, if you had of course you would have stopped. Get your laywer, if you decide to keep them, to argue that any more than 6 points would cost you loss of licence, potentially your job and effect your family life. Don't forget you can represent yourself and on the day the Clerk of the court will help you. Don't be intimidated by the magistrates or any of the other folk that work in the courts. Dress smart, speak well and clearly and hold yourself upright and look people in the eye. If you get asked questions look at the magistrates in the eye when you answer those questions.
Anything else just ask

:whs

Great advice.
