We understand that attending court can be a nerve wracking experience but you must attend as and when required otherwise a warrant for your arrest could be granted.

We advise that you dress smartly and ensure you arrive early so that we can discuss your case before court starts. If you are going to be late, let us know.

You will normally require to attend court at least twice.

Undertaking or Pleading Diet

You may be required to attend an Undertaking or Pleading Diet where we will tender a plea of not guilty or guilty on your behalf. Once this is done, you will get two further dates, one for the Intermediate Diet and the other for your trial. You need to be available for both these diets and any defence witnesses need to be able to come to the Trial Diet.

When possible our solicitors can tender your plea without you having to attend court for the pleading Diet.

We then obtain the evidence against you from the Procurator Fiscal and fully investigate your defence to ensure that you have the best possible chance of success.

We will of course keep you up to date with any developments, and deal with any concerns you may have before your next court appearance.

Intermediate Diet

The intermediate diet is a procedural hearing at which we and the Procurator Fiscal advise the court whether the case is fully prepared for trial. We can also change your plea if you wish to do so.

Trial Diet

The trial diet is the hearing at which the evidence from both sides is heard and the Sheriff decides whether you are guilty or not guilty.
