If a crime has been committed probably there is no time limit for bringing charges.

Any chance you could repost the question in English?

I think gordyon means:
If a traffic case is APPEALED ....
I think I get the rest (he had moved house and so didn't receive the notice), although I don't know about the 'returned to its origen (origin?) bit.

Although you have not made it very clear, I assume you made a "Statutory Declaration" before the court to say you did not receive notification of the court case.

Most motoring offences are "summary" offences and there is a time limit of six months from the date of the alleged offence to "lat an information" before the Magistrates' Court. However, once the proceedings have begun there is no time limit for them to be completed. The proceedings had already begun (although you did not know about them) so the case can continue indefinitely.

That should be "lay an information"
