The trainee City broker son of UKIP leader Nigel Farage has been arrested and charged with being drunk and disorderly in the square mile.
Thomas Harry Farage, 21, of Wall Close, Hoo, Rochester, Kent did not appear for his first hearing at City of London Magistrates' Court (pictured)
last Friday and hopes the charge can be settled without having to make an appearance.
He is employed by Bishopgate-based Marex Spectron and is charged with being drunk and disorderly in nearby St. Martin's Le Grande on April 12, contrary to the Criminal Justice Act 1967.
Farage was arrested at 3am.
His solicitors, Mayfair-based RMPI, are continuing to make representations to the Crown Prosecution Service to deal with the case outside of a court hearing, based on medical evidence.
His unconditional bail was enlarged until May 10 to give the CPS time to consider the medical evidence.
"There are discussions between the parties as to a more appropriate outcome," prosecutor Miss Catherine Baccas told the magistrates.
