Regina v Newcastle Upon Tyne Justices ex parte Devine: QBD 20 May 1998

Justices who had issued a commitment warrant in the absence of the defendant, and without good reason for believing that the summons he had failed to respond to, had been served, were quite wrong, and because of earlier similar cases it was proper to order them to pay the costs of the action.
