(apologies for my first post i did not realie i put the thread in the wrong section, sorry for the inconvenience)
On 19th november 2010 I made the biggest mistake of my life, I was found to be with possession of a substance (two head shop tabs after a night out).
I was never arrested or received a charge sheet on the night, the following day I went to the Garda station to give a voluntary as I was terrified about what was going to happen. Not even then did I get summons or charge sheet.
This year in Feb I was applying for a job and "Possession of Substance came up on my Garda vetting", I talked with the Garda in question and he told me that I should have been in court on December 7th 2010 but it was struck out, and never received any notification about it.
My problem is I have just received another summons for September 2012, but on the summons the application to the district court was made on 31 August 2011, have breached the 6 month time limit, can some one tell me if this summons is void and if it is possible that I do not have to wait to get it sorted until September.
What I had in my possession was not even a drug, but a component that is found in head shop products. Thank you.
