this is my advice to the poster who has had the summons , Synergist. You are being accused of a CRIMINAL OFFENCE!!! So go and get yourself a SOLICITOR!!!!! Do you understand. Don't waste time, and this applies to anyone else in similar situation, posting on here for help. Go ans see a firm of solicitors who specialise in criminal law. You are entitled to legal aid if you are being accused of a crime!!! They will advise you of the ins and outs of the law, summonses and how they are addressed etc. Furthermore all prosecution evidence MUST be made available to the defendant, and must be supplied a reasonable length of time before the trial!!!!! I invite you to read the European Convention on Human Rights, article six: "A person accused of a crime must be given adequate time and facilities to prepare his defence."
