I haven't looked at your previous threads but you won't get any decent help without setting out the facts or giving terse answers. Sorry.

I have to agree with Steve if you want clear appropriate advice we need to know the history and
detail of the events.

You have ten (if I add correctly) different threads on this forum.
Are they all to do with the same case?

Let me Guess on this which is a first

You are claiming malicious prosecution in the Magistrates Court??

As that will more than likely be a summary rather than an eiher way offence we are probably talking of a regulatory offence which will be strict liability.

As the liability is strict there is no defence as such so no Mens rea (Guilty mind) required for conviction.
