Round-up of magistrates court cases
DOZENS of criminals are dealt with by magistrates at Kirklees every day.
Magistrates have the powers to jail defendants for up to six months for one offence or 12 months in total for a number of offences.
They can also hand down fines of up to £5,000.
All magistrates are unpaid volunteers and they only receive expenses for the work they do. With more serious offences they will send a defendant to crown court for sentencing.
