sent to wrong court!
Discussion
I was told to go to a court, i have proof obviousley!
get there, its shut, speak to plod in adjacent building, turns out they are waiting at another court for me to turn up and the copper has shown up as witness.
I get the bla bla bla, get down here or we can issue a warrant for arrest ( i wish they did cause then i could have done them for wrongful arrest).
I have no transport as went on the bus and just cant get to the other court.
They say ring up and we will give you a new court date!
my witness had travelled hundred + miles begrugingly as he is a student and has deadline tommorrow.
If this is not grounds for case dropped then i dont know what is. It is a **** up of all proportions!
My witness just cant be bothered to go through same shit again and i dont blame him.
Has any one else experienced something like this?
what should i do?
im thinking of getting a solicitor to make a counter claim for travel compensation. If i can prove i made every reasonable effort to goto court on the date place stated then surely i can get the case dropped????

yep had the same thing
was for amore serous case m8
trying to pull a copper`s eyeball out
he started it and did not like it when he got some back.
they put the wrougn court on my bail sheet
so i when there my my law mouth
when to the right one :-)
they had to ferry the whole trial to my location
you answered the bail for the court
so i would go home they cant do you for breach of bail
so you can not be aressted for not turning up m8
they can rearest you for the origonal charge
but im guessing if its just a motoring offence it may not be an arestable offence.
they can re try you for it but i would argue that you allready atended the court and the procution offerd no evidence.
and for it to be droped you may get away with it
if the becks are in a good mood
if they try to still do you claim for cost of your wasted time
good luck
