summons to court

[SARAHPMAN]

Hi

I was wondering if anyone could help me?

about a year ago my partner was stopped for not having tax up to date. he explained that he had sent it off in the post a few weeks back and was waiting for the disc to be sent out.
the garda decided to let him away with it and just said that he needed to show his insurance cert in his local garda station within a certain amount of days.
he went to the local garda station anyway and showed the cert. the garda went off with it and typed some things into a computer.

last week he recieved a summons to court for failure to produce cert.

he is goin to go down to the local garda station this week to ask if they have record of him showing the certificate.

anyone know if he will be able to get out of the court date since it is their mistake or will he have to go along anyway and explain the situation.

He should ring the guard who asked for the summons to be issued. Explain. The guard will probably ask that it be struck out if it is already listed for court and then he will not need to attend.
