You represent Lucy who is charged with burglary. At the first hearing, Lucy pleads not guilty and elects summary trial. A trial date is fixed for two months’ time. The prosecution have given notice that they intend to adduce evidence of Lucy’s three previous convictions for theft pursuant to s.101(1)(d) CJA 2003. You object to the convictions being adduced. What is the most appropriate way for this issue to be resolved?
