How to tell when police “laid info to court”?

[Butterfly88]

Received a court hearing scheduled letter for offences not guilty of. Only date on letter is “date posted” which is over 7 months after police interview. No date on the attached police report and the witness statement was taken nearly 8 months ago. How can I tell if the police laid information to court within 6 months as I believe they are required to?

What were the offences?

[Butterfly88]

Failure to stop and careless driving

I'm no expert but the force's criminal justice department should be able to tell you. Can your solicitor not find out?

[Butterfly88]

Probably but I can’t speak to them until next week and out of my mind worrying

I thought you weren't guilty?

Innocent until proven guilty?

An awful, tragic case where a wrongful conviction probably resulted in death:

If you want an idea of what being on the end of false allegations may feel like you may want to read that book:

Both summary only offences, so absent any extraordinary circumstances 6 month rule should apply, the police seem to have been aware of the offences condsiderably longer then 6 months, so well worth looking at, but not a lot you can do until Monday as far as contacting them goes. Maybe AGT will see this and offer some defintive advice

Ask the magistrates clerk or at least one of his or her staff. They will have a record of it. I’m a bit out of it now but I believe the information will have been laid electronically using the courts system
If it’s out of time then write to the cps and point it out they will withdraw quietly

It’s 2021 so the police prosecutor generally wouldn’t commence proceedings by “laying an information.” They use the so-called new procedure - in force since April 2015.

It would be more helpful if OP properly identified what has been received.
