Anyone know how long it usually takes from filling the court papers to actual appearance date? (Speeding offence, paperwork included pleading guilty and all the other stuff)

Thanks

He waited over 24 hours before bumping, that's patient in my book. Be honest you thought he was bumping after around half an hour. smile

OP, I would imagine it all comes down to how busy the particular court is. You could give the clerk a call, I they may bevable to give you an idea.

I may have done, but even 24 hours is impatient!

Do the circumstances of the offence necessitate you needing to go to court? Are you in danger of being disqualified? A guilty plea could normally be dealt with through the post

You’ve given insufficient info for anyone here to give any meaningful advice to you. If you can be precise about the stage that you’ve reached then you may get an intelligent answer. Have you received a:

1) notice of intended prosecution
2) letter from the police indicating that court proceedings will be instituted
3) Postal Requisition and Written Charge
4) Single Justice Procedure Notice (21 days to reply)
5) Notice of Proposed Disqualification
6) Summons
7) Something else

Tick all that apply.

6) Summons=Hmmm, will have to check when I get home-I cant remember as there is a large raft of paperwork.
7) Something else

Ignore this nonsense.

If you have received a Notice of Proposed Disqualification then you must have a deadline to respond. Soon after that date, the court will contact you with the date of the hearing - likely to be 1-3 months thereafter.

Items 3 and 4 are alternatives. I therefore doubt that you have received both.

You will hear fairly quickly once the documents have been served at court

The prosecution have six months to serve the documents to the court and normally take most of that time.

I presume you know you are going to court but are in the "up to six month" limbo period.

Go back and read the OP - now did you asked the right question?

Why presume when the answer is expressly given in the thread. Another nonsense post from someone who doesn’t understand the process in 2019.

OP,

Four months would be a reasonable average time for this.

I wish you well, having been there and bought the T-shirt.

Good luck.
