Hello,

I've read a few posts regarding signing the SOR but can't remember if it starts after magistrates or crown?

First hurdle our the way today. Sentencing next month.

My partner had to do his within 3 days of pleading guilty in magistrates, unfortunately noone told us and we where on holiday and ended up getting a call while away and finding a police station there, hope it went OK for you in magistrates, none of this is easy is it

If you plead guilty at the magistrates court and it is delt with here and you are sentenced then you would have to sign the SOR with in three days

If you plead guilty at the magistrates court and it is committed to crown and you are given bail then you would have to sign the SOR within three days

If you do not enter a plea at the magistrates court and it is committed to crown, unless they make it a condition of the bail conditions then untill you are convictied and sentenced at the crown you would not have to sign the SOR as they have not been convicted yet.

hope this helps

Thanks.

I'll get him to chase this tomorrow as he's not sure what he was told and I do not want him to miss anything.

The only thing I am holding onto during this is that there is an end in sight. It's been a long, difficult 15 months.

Thanks all.

He checked yesterday and he's been assured it'll be after crown. He didn't actually enter a plea (on advice of solicitor - wanting the barrister to go over evidence), so maybe this has something to do with it.
