Next Steps at this First Hearing / First Appearance

At the first hearing (usually in the Magistrates' Court), the charges are formally read. The defendant is asked to enter a plea. If pleading guilty, sentencing can sometimes happen immediately or be adjourned. If pleading not guilty, the court will make directions to manage the case or transfer it to the Crown Court for trial.

Court Jurisdiction: Single Justice Procedure (SJP) - The Single Justice Procedure is designed for minor, non-custodial summary offences (e.g. speeding, driving without insurance, TV license evasion). A single magistrate, assisted by a legal advisor, decides the case in a private room based on written evidence, without a formal public hearing.
