what will happen to cases which are to be heard in courts that will be closed? if tfl decides to drop a case because of lack of evidence or whatever, do they have to inform the person concerned? -

Does the court summons have to arrive within six months? There are many stories here of it arriving even a week before the time is up, but you say they decide within a few weeks? -

Is it worth getting a solicitor to try and settle with them, or do you get 'extra marks' for being unrepresented? -

How can you do that? Do you get to see the prosecutor before the hearing? Also do you present the mitigation before or after pleading? -

Do the magistrates view you more favourably if you turn up to the hearing instead of pleading in writing? -

Thanks for the advice. Is it worth getting a solicitor to try and settle? Two said they can do it easily and have done in the past, but one said it will only get them 'excited' and make the matter worse (all local btw)! There seem to be conflicting views on this forum about admitting guilt to the prosecution. Is it one of the requirements for a settlement or does it make it easier for them to prosecute? -

I assume that if they issue a court summons they are satisfied the evidence shows it was intentional. What I mean is, if the offender pleads guilty at the hearing, will the judge ask why they claimed it was a mistake earlier? -

If an OP writes to tfl saying they used someone else's pass by mistake and then pleads guilty, does that have any effect on the sentence? -

Calling all the experts: What is the typical and maximum sentence in a trial for 'intent to avoid a fare' if you plead not guilty and lose? Can you plead guilty in a trial - there was an earlier thread where someone's guilty plea was rejected by the magistrates?
