Hi. So my 19 year old daughter has received a court summons for travelling with a 16-17 year old ticket at a time she was 18.
The summons is for an offence contrary to byelaws 18.1 and 24. She is studying to be a nurse and doesnt want a criminal conviction. I have read that out of court settlements are possible but the hearing is in 3 weeks so I wonder whether it's too late for that. The fare is £17.80 and the court costs is £150. She realises how stupid she has been and I know she will never repeat it again. Any help as to how to tackle this issue will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
