If you are facing a committal for sentence at the Crown Court, the stakes are high, and expert legal representation is essential. At Sahota & Sahota Solicitors, we have a proven track record of successfully representing clients in serious sentencing matters, whether funded through legal aid or on a privately paid basis.
What Is a Committal for Sentence?
A committal for sentence occurs when the Magistrates’ Court decides that the case is too serious for them to deal with and must be sent to the Crown Court for sentencing. This often happens in cases where:
• The offence exceeds the Magistrates’ sentencing powers.
• The complexity of the case warrants Crown Court jurisdiction.
The Crown Court has greater sentencing powers, which means you could face harsher penalties. It’s crucial to have a skilled solicitor to advocate for you during this process.
