Would it be too much to hope that he’s now spending some time at his majesty’s pleasure?

Doubt it  How would that have come about without going before the Magistrate the other day?

 

More likely the case got stayed because someone had the flu. More hopefully the Magistrate baulked at the magnitude of it and kicked it upstairs?

 

What I find odd is you can see a bunch of "first hearings" the previous day all set down for the same 10am  time and all rubber stamped as tbc.

 

You would think CPS vs Mason has to have been dropped or charges upgraded for there to have been no hearing at all.

I've recently finished 2 weeks of jury service in a different county.

 

Slightly different because it was Crown Court, but suffice to say very little happened at the time and date it was orginally scheduled for during my stint.

I'm hoping that's the case. I can't imagine any judge being overly impressed by the offence of "pretending to act under the authority of a County Court."

Nothing happens quickly at court unfortunately. Years of reporting on court cases for the local newspaper taught me that.
 

There’s many fairly dull reasons why cases get delayed or can’t be heard on a certain day/time - awaiting some vital reports, illness, no shows by anyone involved in it, judge/magistrate called away to deal with something else, other unforeseen circumstances etc. 
 

There might sometimes be hearings to agree dates and times of the next hearings, plea and directions hearings, setting any bail conditions, to agree if a case needs to be committed to crown court for sentencing or for trial etc. 
 

There’s a due process to follow in any court case and it moves pretty slowly at times.

Doing a search for "michael mason fraud leicester" brings up quite a few results but all the Facebook links and the links to police pages lead nowhere.

That's definitely worth plastering over any social media accounts one might have. 

 

Thanks for the link.
