The matter was particularly challenging as our client also had a recent and relevant history for similar offending, significantly increasing the risk of a severe penalty.
Given the client’s prior history, outstanding infringements, and the nature of the offending, the Court had a broad range of sentencing options available, including the possibility of a conviction and a substantial financial penalty.
Our Approach
Our office undertook a detailed review of the matter and prepared comprehensive submissions aimed at presenting the Court with a complete picture of the client’s circumstances.
We focused on:

The Outcome
Following our submissions, the Court imposed:
This was an outstanding result given the seriousness of the driving allegations, the substantial amount of outstanding fines, and the client’s recent history for similar offending.
Why This Result Matters
Driving offences, particularly those involving alcohol and repeat offending, are treated seriously by the courts.
Securing a without conviction outcome in these circumstances not only protected our client’s future but also resulted in a significant reduction in their overall financial burden.
This case highlights the importance of:
