Hi all
Been called as a witness/victim to a court case that was meant to happen today. We turned up, signed in and sat down to wait our turn. When I went up to the desk about twenty minutes in and asked if we could review our statements I was told that actually we could go home as they’d moved the case to tomorrow.
Six hours later a mate sends me a link to the local news website that’s just reported the outcome of the trial…
Problem is we’ve been cited to reattend tomorrow early doors. As the case has already been closed I’m assuming this is no longer necessary, but when I phoned up the PF office to confirm they were less than helpful, saying that they wouldn’t be able to confirm until tomorrow. The court rolls for the day show that the guy was indeed scheduled in for today as well, so I’m unsure as to why we were sent home in the first place.
Any advice? Don’t want to waste time turning up when I know we’re only going to be turned away again, I’ve already missed a day of uni today so can’t really afford to let it go any further.
Current plan is to phone in at opening time and check up to see if we’re definitely not expected to attend. I know that’s probably the best option therefore making this thread a bit pointless, but I’m still a bit miffed by the timewasting.
Anybody experienced anything similar?
