Legal advice on trading standards prosecutions
It is imperative for any business or individual receiving a summons to court in respect of a trading standards matter to obtain immediate specialist legal advice. A solicitor from our team will be able to attend to represent a client at their first appearance at the Magistrates Court and at every other hearing thereafter.
We recognise that any prosecution will be a source of great concern and our team can guide an individual or business through the various aspects of the proceedings in order to keep stress to a minimum. We are able to advise on the strength of the evidence in the case and, when it is required, give guidance on appropriate pleas. Where evidence is weak our team is experienced in identifying the key aspects of a case and in preparing an organised and vigorous defence.
We represent individuals who are being prosecuted for matters related to:
- product safety
- product recall
- food safety
- supply of age-restricted products to minors
- weights and measures
- trade descriptions and copyright infringements
- consumer credit and contract terms
- advertising practices
- sales practices including web based sales
- licensing
- Magistrates and Crown Court proceedings and appeals
