[2007] EWHC 2005 (Admin)

A magistrates' court had been entitled to adjourn proceedings for speeding against two alleged offenders who had failed to confirm the real issues that they wished to raise in their defence prior to the hearings. The mere fact of the Crown's failures to serve notices pursuant to the Road Traffic Offenders Act 1988 s.20 could not be determinative of an application to adjourn.
