[2011] EWHC 432 (Admin)

A magistrates' court had acted unfairly in dismissing an information laid by a local authority for want of attendance by a prosecutor where the trial was not pre-fixed but had been occasioned through the execution of a warrant and where the court had made no attempt to contact the prosecutor, who had been on her way to court.
