Common confusion points
Confusing this notice with a simple 'Summons'—this is about the *sentence*, not just showing up.
Not knowing whether to serve it on the prosecution or the defence (it often goes to both).
Mistaking the application itself for the notice; the form *is* the notification of the hearing date.
Assuming that because it's a CCC form, the matter is automatically serious (though not always true).
