Place: Bodmin Magistrates Court
Offence: Speeding – in excess of 100mph
Defence: Mitigation
LATEST VICTORY – DISQUALIFICATION AVOIDED WHEN DRIVING AT 104MPH
Millars Solicitors represented Mr G who appeared before Bodmin Magistrates Court on the 6th March 2019.
Mr G was very concerned about being disqualified from driving and realised that he could be disqualified for a period of up to 56 days in accordance with the Magistrates Court Sentencing Guidelines. Mr G did have powerful mitigation and was concerned about the impact of any disqualification upon his son.
The argument was advanced at Court that hardship would be caused, not only to Mr G but to his family and particularly his son.
The Court accepted the argument and imposed penalty points instead of a driving disqualification.
