If you have pleaded guilty by post and changed your mind, you must tell the Clerk before the hearing that you wish to withdraw your plea; the case will then be dealt with as if you had not sent a written plea of guilty. If it is your intention to plead not guilty it is vital that, in order to avoid delay and expense, you inform the Clerk immediately of that fact, so that prosecution witnesses can be notified that they must attend. If the prosecution witnesses have to be called, it is likely that there will have to be an adjournment to enable the witnesses to come to Court. However, if the prosecutor has served on you notice that written statements of witnesses have been put before the Court, the hearing may proceed on the basis of written evidence unless you have informed the prosecutor that you want one or more of the witnesses to give oral evidence. IF YOU ENTER A NOT GUILTY PLEA, EITHER YOU OR YOUR LEGAL REPRESENTATIVE MUST APPEAR IN COURT. If you pleaded guilty by post and you appear at the Court hearing and maintain that plea, OR if you have not pleaded guilty by post and you appear in Court to plead guilty, the Court may deal with the case as if you were absent, provided you consent. In these circumstances, before the Court accepts your plea of guilty and before it convicts you, either you, or your legal representative (if you have one) will be entitled to make oral representations in mitigation at that hearing. . b in the form numbered 28— i the reference in the heading of the form to “s.12(1)(b)” shall be replaced by “s.12(3)(b)”; ii the sentence beginning “If your plea of guilty is accepted” shall be deleted.
