Magistrates’ Court

2. Magistrates’ Court

We represent clients at every stage of the Magistrates’ Court process, including:

Magistrates’ Court Representation

  • First appearances
  • Bail applications
  • Case management hearings
  • Guilty pleas
  • Trials
  • Sentencing

We act under legal aid, where eligible, or on a privately funded basis.

Even once a case reaches court, there are occasions where further representations can properly be made to the prosecution or the court to discontinue the charge. Where the evidence is weak, the public interest is not met, or the case has developed unfairly, we act promptly to challenge the continuation of proceedings.
