Now I have the full story....He was attacked in a nightclub ( there are two witnesses ). The other chap came off worse, no charges are being pressed by either party. My son was evicted from the nighclub and refused to go home when advised by the police. We will discuss this with the on-site court solicitior on the day. Is this the best thing to do ?

Solicitor: Jo C., Barrister replied 6 years ago

I'm slightly surprised they want to prosecute drunk and disorderly. They rarely do. Usually it is just a fixed penalty fine.

In any event, if this remains a drunk and disorderly then it will just carry a fine.

It is generally better to be represented but the duty solicitor might not be able to see him as it does not normally fall within the criteria.

Can I clarify anything for you?
