You’ve received a court order by registered mail. What should you do?
Please note that you have 10 days, and no more, to file an opposition if you do not agree with this decision.
If you do nothing, it will have the force of a judgment and, where applicable, the conviction will be entered in your criminal record.
If you decide to lodge an objection to this decision, as an accused person, a simple letter indicating your intention to the Public Prosecutor’s Office will suffice.
It’s important to bear in mind, however, that opposition is not without consequences, and may in some cases prove useless or even strategically counter-productive.
