Is it right that the serving of a closure notice only gives the person on whom it is served a short time to prepare evidence before the court hearing?
A. Yes the Police have to make their application on the first court day after the date on which they serve the closure notice. However, in some previous cases the court has deferred the hearing of the application to allow the defence more time to prepare their case. The sheriff can adjourn the hearing for a period of up to 14 days.
