Frequently asked questions

What the tool can — and cannot — answer

Should I use the issue date on the ticket?

Not necessarily. Section 160 runs from service. Check the date and instructions on the statement of offence.

Is the displayed date a guaranteed legal deadline?

No. It is an indicative calendar addition. Confirm the deadline with the court office or a lawyer.

Where must the plea be sent?

Section 160 says it must be sent to the place shown on the statement of offence. The proper court office depends on the document received.
