Hi Everyone,

I was hoping you might be able to advise me. A friend was stopped a few months back by a guard for failing to display tax and a license. He went to the police station and showed his tax disc and license a few days later and thought all was okay. Unfortunately he forgot to pay the fine when he went to the station (the guards never mentioned it).
He recieved no further notice or communication from the gardai (no late warning), at all until they arrived at his mothers house with a summons. Upon calling the police station he offered to pay immediately but was told he must go to court.

I have two questions:
1. Is this standard procedure - i.e. once you have recieved a fine do you not recieve a late payment notice before a summons to court?
2. When attending court is he bettre to go by himself or would it be advisable for him to hire a solicitor to go with him? if so where is the best place to hire one and what type?
Any advice would be appreciated as we really have no knowledge in this area and he would rather not arrive in court unprepared.

Many thanks
