This is in a criminal case and the plea hearing is coming up. Depending on the pleas (multiple charges), I'm assuming they will then set a date for the trial (military court martial but works like a crown court in this respect).
I've given several witness statements and some of my email exchanges with the defendant were gathered by the service prosecution authority. They don't know whether I'll need to go to court or not at the moment.
The idea of facing the defendant in court/being in court fills me with anxiety and dread. I haven't had contact with him in over a year. At what point am I likely to find out whether they will want me to come to court or not? How much notice are they likely to give me?
