Beckham’s next hearing will be held at an open court

His case was considered at Bromley Magistrates Court on Tuesday, through an administrative process known as a single justice procedure, which is not open to the press or public.The procedure was introduced across England and Wales in 2015 as a means of freeing up court time by allowing magistrates to quickly deal with low-level offences which do not warrant prison sentences.But the hearing was adjourned to Lavender Hill Magistrates Court on April 17 “to show cause”.

Beckham avoided a speeding prosecution in 2018 on a technicality

Two months before he was reported for the offence, Beckham was criticised after avoiding prosecution on a speeding charge because of a technicality.Enlisting the services of celebrity lawyer Nick Freeman, who is dubbed “Mr Loophole”, Beckham accepted he drove a loaned Bentley at 59mph in a 40mph zone in west London in January last year.But he did not face further action because a notice of intended prosecution (NIP) was not received until one day after the statutory 14-day time limit. Joshua Harris, director of campaigns for Brake, said it was “hugely disappointing” to see the role model “shirking his responsibility and getting off a speeding prosecution on a mere technicality”.Beckham was sent another NIP for the latest incident and was charged on February 5, according to court staff who were unable to access details of a plea.Mr Freeman also assisted Beckham in overturning an eight-month driving ban in 1999 after arguing that the footballer was trying to escape a paparazzi photographer.
