Speeding and other criminal offences / SJPN
« on: January 21, 2025, 03:05:26 pm »
Today I recieved a Single Justice Procedure Notice for a speeding fine where I was driving 47mph in a 40mph limit on 27/07/2024.
- I received a notice of intended prosecution dated in August 2024 for which I responded stating I was the driver at the time and included my drivers licence
- on 04/09/24 I received the fixed penalty notice. I paid the notice on 12/09/24, I am SURE around the same time I sent the paperwork back but cannot remember the exact date.
- today I received a SJPN - I haven’t received anything to indicate that they didn’t receive my licence details (despite having this information already in the NIP) and their statement states that a refund was requested for the fine. I haven’t requested a refund nor have I recieved one.
The statement from met police states:
“A Conditional offer of Fixed Penalty was sent to MISS xxx xxxxxx on 04/09/2024.
The driver / rider failed to satisfy the requirements of the Fixed Penalty, the Fixed Penalty was paid but they failed to provide their licence details for electronic endorsement and a refund was requested.
The driver / rider did not satisfy the requirements of the Fixed Penalty offer within the specified timeframe. As a result, the offer of a Fixed Penalty has been withdrawn.
The matter was therefore referred to the Prosecution Team for a Single Justice Notice to be issued.”
Any advice would be appreciated- the charge sheet is just for the speeding offence so assuming I should plea guilty but shouldn’t I have been informed prior to this that they haven’t received anything and nothing else alerted me to this.
Not sure if this counts as extenuating circumstances but I am diagnosed with ADHD I’ve also been experiencing ill health since end of September- recurring viruses and chest infections and chronic fatigue resulting in extended periods off of work which may be the reason why I didn’t think to follow up after sending my paperwork.
Not sure how much of this I should include in my statement?
