It says "On 3 February 2021 she appeared at Glasgow Sheriff Court. No plea or declaration was made and she was given bail." That was 4 months ago. Has nothing happened since then?

https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/in-your-area/lanarkshire/disgraced-mp-margaret-ferrier-delivers-24347575 says "In January, Ferrier was arrested and charged with culpable and reckless conduct for allegedly breaking coronavirus regulations after she voluntarily attended Coatbridge Police Station." That was 5 months ago. Do charges normally take over 5 months to process and try?

  • While I think the initial court hearing to enter a plea or declaration can happen quite quickly after being charged, I'm pretty sure it can take quite a few months for a trial date to be set. Doesn't help that the courts were backlogged before covid so it could take a while. Suonii180 (talk) 07:20, 22 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
