'be spoken to'?
We (I am acting as someone's agent) are going to court in near future. It is not a trial as the prosecutor said he would change it to be spoken to, and that we'd have the option to plead guilty, request another adjournment, or to agree to set a trial date from this point.
I am not familiar with the term 'be spoken to'... any help on what we should expect?
Does this mean to be spoken to by JP? Crown?
Thanks for any help.

I've never been to court and don't know what to expect.
If it is first attendance, what should I expect? From other posts I can expect the prosecutor will ask us to plead guilty or possibly take plea bargain but aside from that (if we say no), what happens then? Just wait for our turn to speak with the JP and state in plain english that we intend to look into cost of getting legal representation and go to trial but we don't have a lawyer yet and request another adjournment? That simple? Will the JP or Crown ask on what basis are we fitting the ticket?

Sounds like this will be a FA meeting... if so does that mean we don't go in front of JP even if we state we want to set trial date?
Thanks!

No JP just chat with the Crown.....what do you have what does he/she have. Do you want to go with this offer......yadda, yadda. How are your bargaining skills?burgersgirl wrote:Sounds like this will be a FA meeting... if so does that mean we don't go in front of JP even if we state we want to set trial date?

Thank you!
The Crown is the Crown, Mr or Mrs whatever.
