Single justice procedure

The single justice procedure (SJP; Welsh: gweithdrefn cyfiawnder sengl) was introduced by the Criminal Justice and Courts Act 2015 in England and Wales.[1][2][3] Under this procedure a single magistrate with a legally qualified adviser, can try minor non-imprisonable offences without a court hearing, unless the defendant chooses to attend a hearing in court.
