OUR CLIENT:
Our client is a 67-year-old male who is semi-retired working as the CEO of a Waste Management Company.
He was at home after being advised his child has lost her newborn child and he was devasted.
He had been off work for a couple of weeks due to a recent operation.
He made the choice to drive to the local train station and then made his way to support his daughter after having consumed a number of alcohol drinks.
MID-RANGE DRINK DRIVING OFFENCE:
On the way to the train station, he was pulled over for speeding over 10km/h. This was an aggravating factor in his case because his manner of driving is what resulted in police detective his Mid-Range Drink Driving Offence.
Our client has never been charged or convicted of any prior drink driving offences. He was charged with one offence of Mid-Range Drink Driving.
Our Criminal Lawyers worked with our client to present the best possible case and explained his significant need for a licence. We asked the court to re-list the matter to an earlier date because our client’s licence was suspended on the spot.
THE OUTCOME:
Ultimately, the court was persuaded to impose a no conviction order, meaning, our client was able to maintain his job, keep his licence and avoid any further penalty.
In this result, the Magistrate made clear that had it not been for the presentation of this case, he would have been convicted and taken off the road, but the Magistrate found that his prospects of rehabilitation were high and that his excellent record and history warranted the leniency.
