How many times will the courts allow a case to be posponed? I am fighting an elleged excessive speeding ticket.
My lawyer was unable to attend the first date due to scheduling conflict. Now my lawyer has moved on and I need another lawyer. Will the courts allow a second date to be posponed. Next date is approx 1 month from now.
It all depends on the JJP in traffic court. If the first adjournment was made peremptory on the defence you may not be able to obtain a second one. I would contact the court registry, explain your problem and ask for their advice, the sooner the better.
It is rare to have a lawyer in traffic court. I can recall two cases, one defending a client and one as the accused! Perhaps the JJP will have a different view of the situation because of this.
