Speeding and other criminal offences / Re: Summons to Court. Reason Case management hearing?
« on: April 17, 2025, 12:00:17 pm »
I made a straight forward, statement saying there's no excuse for what I've done and how remorseful I am about the offence.

The offence in question is 61mph on a 30mph road. 0 points on license I've held for 20 years.


I will look into the "exceptional hardship" but I'm not confident it will help.

Thank you for the replies.

The fact that they are proposing to list a trial date after you have already pled guilty, suggests either that you have included some mitigation that constitutes a defence, or that the court staff are a waste of space.

You know far more about the circumstances of the case and what information you provided than we do. The court presumably knows far more about the reasons for the pre trial hearing than we or you do. Perhaps asking the court would be more illuminating than asking us?

Unfortunately not, i did ring the number provided on the summons but the person I spoke to was not able to clarify the reason, he did provide me with the e-mail address to forward my letter to the Courts but that was it.

I basically held my hands up and didn't offer much in the way of mitigation on my statement either.

I'm there on the 24th so will find out soon enough.

It was mainly about the sentencing aspect and if i could drive there or better to take the bus.

Also I've never been to court before should i be wearing a suit? It is at the Magistrates Court.

Speeding and other criminal offences / Summons to Court. Reason Case management hearing?

Hello, I have recived a summons to court for a

"case management hearing to discuss and identify issues in the case and then fix a trial date"

I have already pleaded guilty to the speeding offence using the online system and selected the option to appear at Court as I'm most likely going to recive a driving ban.

I am wondering what a case management hearing involves and what "issues" they could be referring to?

Is there a chance a sentence can be passed at the hearing?

The only other factor is the letter from my employer i said I would bring with me to Court stating I'd lose my job upon being banned.


Any insight or advice is appreciated.
