Situation
Our client approached us a week before having to attend at the Magistrates’ Court. Unfortunately, they had nine points on their licence and faced a further three. This would that their total would be 12 points in a three-year period. Subsequently, they were facing a six-month disqualification under the totting up provisions.
Action Taken
We immediately took full instructions from the client, advised on potential outcomes under the exceptional hardship provisions and advised on evidence in support we would require to submit to the Court. We ensured a quick turnaround in case preparation to ensure the best chances of the Court finding exceptional hardship.
Outcome
The Magistrates took into consideration the evidence submitted in support and found exceptional hardship on the basis the licence was crucial to fulfilling their employment obligations. Our client was thrilled we were able to turn this around in such a short space of time.
