Please let me know if this is the right approach
Cummulative, from two senior Solicitors
- the hearing on the 21st is because the court has decided your case is not suitable for the Single Justice Procedure (I’m not sure why they have done this).
On the 21st we have the option to plead guilty or not guilty (without attending - even though the summons says you should attend).
On the 21st the case will either be listed for trial or it will be adjourned for a case management hearing. We would deal with the case management hearing via letter.
Between the 22st and the trial date I would be working to persuade the prosecution to drop the case on public interest grounds.
If we haven’t managed to get them to drop the case by the trial date then we would attend the trial and argue that the offence is not made out.

This isn’t how these cases work. You have not yet entered a guilty plea because the court has not accepted your guilty plea.
The next hearing would be dealt with via letter confirming a not guilty plea (neither you nor I would attend)
