A Guide to Barkingside Magistrates’ Court

What does it mean to receive a postal requisition from Barkingside Magistrates’ Court?

A postal requisition is a document sent out by the court demanding that you appear before the court at a certain time and date. Failure to appear at the time and date stipulated can result in severe penalties, so, even if you believe that the court has made an error in sending you the requisition, it is essential that you attend.
