Justice Minister Owen Bonnici was today summoned to appear in court before Magistrate Claire Stafrace Zammit on October 3, the Justice Ministry said.
It said Magistrate Stafrace Zammit will preside over a traffic sitting which will deal with an incident the minister had with his private car on April 3.
Dr Bonnici is being charged with injuring a third person and damaging two vehicles involuntarily.
The Justice Ministry said that during the whole process, Dr Bonnici cooperated fully with the authorities and he would continue to go through all the procedures like every other citizen.
In a democratic society, the ministry said, the law was the same for everyone.
