Thanks for update, hopefully others more familiar with court process will be able to add some helpful info on this for you given the nature of your conversation.Bit of an update ...
I managed to speak to a lovely lady at the court and she gave me some clarification on the matter.
My case was looked at my the magistrate and decided from my ‘guilty plea’ and the circumstances put forward that they hear from the northern rail prosecutor?
It’s a case heard in front of a legal advisor and Magistrate???
I asked if I had get been convicted and she said no.
She stated I need not attend court as they already have my plea that I sent them on the ‘single justice procedure notice’ via email.
I must of asked her about 10 times to clarify that part and she said I definitely don’t need to attend and no warrant will be put out for me not showing.
I asked if I should get a solicitor and she said although she ‘shouldn’t’ advice, she didn’t think it looked necessary. ????
She confirmed whatever happened, I would not be going to jail.
Feel a massive relief however still not fully understanding the matter. That was all the information she was able to give me and wouldn’t state what the magistrate wanted from the prosecution.
oh and it would more than likely be adjourned for up to 12 weeks.
And also, as I forgot to say before, good luck with all this and thanks for your work in the ambulance service! All sensible people will appreciate how valuable this is.
