What exactly is a pre trial review. I pleaded not guilty and their was an initial hearing which i didnt attend. I had written a letter in the belief that i may get let off right there and then! (its happened before - well, on the morning of the main hearing)

But they want to have a ptr which i dont have to attend if i say how many witnesses i have e.t.c by post!

Will they look at my correspondance on this date and possibly consider dropping the case?

interestingly enough it sais

cheif constable ***** vs Hardcore on the ptr correspondance. Is he the prosecutor or the traffic cop?

Surely if they missed the "...2000" off your surname you can get off on a technicality?!?

Sounds like you will get off !

I think they are aware that you have a good chance, and wish to bow out of the proceedings as gracefully as possible to reduce costs.

Sorry, I can't say anything more constructive than that!

Good luck mate.

The Cop who caught me was on his own and his story just does not add up to what happened. I will be taking 2 witnesses to caught vs 1 cop. They have my story in writing and assume its been added to case file!

Has anybody else had any experience of the procedures that signify a possible "No further action". Is it too early to get my hopes up?
