I've been asked to represent/speak for a lorry driver in the Magistrates Court.
I'm happy to do this for him as he is shy, not very eloquent but did what he did with certainly no bad intentions and a lack of understanding of the rules.
I know nothing of the way things work.
He intends to plead guilty to 5 charges, he doesn't want legal representation, but someone he trusts to speak on his behalf.
Will I be allowed to do this?
If so, can someone run me through the way it works and the etiquette that goes with it please?
The case is on 26th May so I have to decide today whether to do this or not, and I also want to give the driver the best advice possible as he trusts me.
Thanks in anticipation.
Pat
