Types of Cases Heard at Manchester Magistrates' Court

As with all magistrates' courts in England and Wales, every criminal case begins here before being assessed for severity. Manchester Magistrates' Court deals with a broad spectrum of legal matters each day, including:

  • Summary offences — minor criminal matters such as traffic violations, fare evasion, and low-level public disorder, dealt with entirely at the magistrates' court
  • Either-way offences — including theft, drug possession, and assault, where the bench decides whether to retain the case or commit it upward
  • Triable-either-way cases referred upward — more serious matters committed to Manchester Crown Court at Crown Square or Manchester Minshull Street Crown Court for trial or sentencing
  • Remand hearings — first appearances and bail decisions for defendants in police custody overnight
  • Single Justice Procedure cases — written hearings for minor offences such as speeding, no TV licence, or failure to provide insurance details

Cases involving youth defendants are not published in public listings to protect the identities of minors. If you need information about a youth case, you must contact the court directly.
