Civil Or Criminal Cases?
Am I reading correctly that if you plead not guilty and are found guilty you could end up being fined and on top of that have to pay the CAA's costs for persuing the prosecution? If that is correct, is this a civil or a criminal case - or is there no distinction made under UK law? In fact do you have to pay the CAA's costs even if you plead not guilty - surely they could just fine you directly?
