Our client was driving without insurance and had pleaded Guilty. However, our barrister was able to persuade the Magistrates that the insurance certificate that our client thought had covered him was so confusing that no penalty points or fine or costs were imposed whatsoever.

R v C Bromley Magistrates’ Court

A community nurse, who needed a vehicle for her nighttime duties, reached 12 points on her licence. Our barrister persuaded the Magistrates not to disqualify her as it would cause exceptional hardship.

R v C West Bromwich Magistrates’ Court

Our client was charged with overloading of commercial vehicles. Whilst our client accepted his guilt, our barrister was able to prove to the court that the police calculations massively overstated the case. The result was that the court imposed a fraction of the fine our client had been expecting.

R v T Halifax Magistrates’ Court

Our client was stopped for driving without insurance in his company car. True, he was not insured, but the fault lay with his employer, not with him. After negotiation with the C.P.S. the case was dropped without reaching trial and our client was awarded his costs.

R v R Epping Magistrates’ Court

Our client was charged with using a mobile phone whilst driving. By securing records from Vodafone’s data protection department we were able to prove no calls had been made to or from any phone registered to our client at the time of the allegation. Our barrister then secured a Not Guilty verdict when the case went to trial. The court awarded our client the costs of his defence.

R v B Oxford Crown Court

Our client was charged with dangerous driving, leaving the scene of the accident and then reporting his car stolen. Facing a prison sentence, he instructed motoringlawbarristers.

R v P Hendon Magistrates’ Court

Our client was charged with allowing another to use her vehicle without insurance. Relying on legal argument, our barrister persuaded the C.P.S. that the entirety of their evidence was inadmissible. The case was dropped by the prosecution without ever coming to trial. The court awarded our client her costs.

R v F Chichester Crown Court

A London taxi driver represented himself and was disqualified by the Magistrates as he had reached 12 points on his driving licence.

Our barrister persuaded the Crown Court not to disqualify on the grounds that it would cause our client exceptional hardship.

R v S Wimbledon Magistrates’ Court

A single mother in ill health reached 12 points on her driving licence. Our barrister saved her licence by proving to the court the exceptional hardship that would be caused.

R v S Worcester Magistrates’ Court

A mobile heating engineer used his mobile phone whilst driving, bringing him to 12 points on his driving licence. Our barrister persuaded the Magistrates not to disqualify him as driving was vital to his employment.

R v A Chichester Crown Court

A local councillor represented himself and was disqualified by the Magistrates as he had reached 12 points on his driving licence. Only then did he approach us.
