Thank you everyone. I have pleaded Not Guilty as above. I will update you of the eventual outcome!

Hi all,

Quick update. Today received a 'Summons on Referral to Court' stating that a magistrate has decided the case should be referred to a full hearing and it provides a date and time.

The reason stated for the hearing is stated as 'Case management hearing (deft to attend)'.

As a litigant in person is there anything I need to prepare before the hearing?

More knowledgeable will add/correct,but given the case is fairly simple, I'd take everything!

The hearing is to establish the skeleton issues in play, from which the court will/may issue directions to both parties in respect of what they need to do/proive/show at the full hearing. If things are as clear/certain as described, the case may be discontinued anyway.

Hi all,

I'm in court in the morning for the case management hearing. Have all docs double checked and printed out - it seems pretty simple to me. Will update with the outcome.

Should the case be dismissed tomorrow am I able to claim any costs for travelling and attending the hearing?

It's late at night the evening before your hearing, but if you can, make sure you have adequate copies of the paperwork you are relying on - 6 ideally.
