Frequently Asked Questions
Q. 1 : I missed my court date; what should I do?
Missing a court date can result in a warrant issuing for your arrest. If you have missed a court date, you should contact our office immediately so we can advise you of the best course of action.
Q. 2 : I have been given a notice to appear to attend court. What do I do now?
If you are issued with a notice to appear, this means that you must appear in court on the date stipulated on the notice. You should make arrangements to go to court on this date as missing a court date can lead to a warrant being issued for your arrest. If you have been given a notice to appear, we strongly advise you contact our office for an initial consult.
An initial consult will provide you with preliminary legal advice, the court process and the possible penalty you may be facing and allow you to ask any other questions you may have with respect to your charge.
Q. 3 : A family member has been arrested and taken into custody. What happens now?
The person who has been arrested may be processed and granted bail. Alternatively, they may be held in custody and be required to present in court to apply for bail before a Magistrate. Should either of the above scenarios arise, we strongly advise you to contact one of our solicitors to either discuss representation for a bail application or alternatively an initial consult and advice on the charges for which bail was granted.
Q. 4 : What is an offender levy?
The offender levy is an administrative fee to help pay for law enforcement and administration costs. If you’re sentenced in the Supreme, District or Magistrates Court, you need to pay the offender levy. However, this does not apply to child offenders. The levy is not an order of the court and does not form part of any sentence imposed by a judge or magistrate. This fee is enforceable by the State Penalties Enforcement Registry.
