Driver fighting Nottingham A52 fine sent confidential paperwork for someone else's court case

Driver Frank Wallington has spoken of his shock after being sent private documents for someone else's court case. The 76 year-old is currently fighting his own case through Nottingham Magistrates' Court after he allowed an ambulance to pass him on the A52 in in Radcliffe on Trent and ended up going through a set of traffic lights 1.2 seconds after they had turned red.

Mr Wallington, of Walsall, said he was recently expecting some documents from his case to be sent but was left shocked to discover a lot of "confidential information" had also been sent across with his paperwork in relation to a completely separate court matter.

Nottinghamshire Live first reported in January that Mr Wallington was driving home to the West Midlands after attending his cousin's funeral in Long Bennington on on March 21, 2022 when he saw an ambulance with flashing blue lights approaching. He has vowed to fight the fine and has been told that he must appear at Nottingham Magistrate's Court to dispute the punishment.
