[Note. The time limit for applying to a magistrates’ court to state a case is prescribed by section 111(2) of the Magistrates’ Courts Act 1980. It may be neither extended nor shortened.
Under section 39 of the Road Traffic Offenders Act 1988(1), a court which has made an order disqualifying a person from driving may suspend the disqualification pending appeal. See also rule 29.2.
The Practice Direction sets out a form of application for use in connection with this rule.]
