Noble, Regina v: CACD 24 Jun 2008

The defendant was on probation. He moved, but did not tell his officer who wrote to him, and on receiving no reply, applied to court who issued a summons, and then a warrant not backed for bail.
Held: The offences were not under the 1976 Act, since he had not been on bail, and, since he had not been served with the summons, nor was his failure to appear a contempt of court.
