What should I do next?
If you are served with a Summons for a Council Prosecution, it is imperative that you obtain legal advice early.
Councils are often difficult to deal with and can be uncompromising. Get an experienced advocate who can negotiate and appear in Court on your behalf.
What is the penalty?
This depends on the offence you have been charged with. In dog bite prosecutions, you can face significant fines, veterinary costs, impoundment costs and the Council may apply to destroy your dog.
Your defence can be compromised without proper advice on how to deal with a record of interview. You should discuss strategy with your Solicitor before being interviewed by the Council
