       Is your wife pleading guilty or not guilty?
       If she is pleading not guilty there is no need to mention all of
       this because she will be required to present it to the court at
       her trial. Nobody will take much notice of it before then.
       If she is pleading guilty she may find that the court rejects
       that plea. Much of what she mentions, particularly from where
       she raises s172(7)(b) forms the basis of a defence and the court
       will probably find that her guilty plea is not unequivocal.
       One factor that is in her favour which I had not previously
       noticed is the considerable delay (of almost four months)
       between sending the response and it being returned undelivered.
       Had it been returned a little more promptly there is every
       likelihood the situation could have been recovered before a
       prosecution was launched.
       That said, it is impossible to forecast how a court will view
       this. The initial problem is of her own making but it was
       certainly made far more difficult for her to recover from it by
       Royal Mail's tardiness.
