Parramatta Local Court – Charges Dismissed for Client Facing Negligent Driving & Leaving Scene of Accident
Our client facing negligent driving and leaving scene charges at Parramatta Local Court had all charges dismissed with no conviction, fine, or licence loss despite being on a good behaviour licence. Through early police negotiations and strong character evidence, we achieved complete dismissal under section 10(1)(a), saving our client from automatic 6-month disqualification and criminal record.
Traffic Charge
Case Overview
Charge: Family Violence Charges
Client: Anonymous Client
Court Location: Parramatta Local Court
At Elbob & Stephenson Legal, we recently achieved an outstanding result for a client who was facing multiple serious traffic offences before the Parramatta Local Court, including:
Negligent Driving, and
Failing to Stop and Provide Particulars Following a Collision
These offences typically carry substantial penalties, including:
A fine of up to $3,300,
A criminal conviction,
Loss of licence (particularly relevant here, as our client was on a good behaviour licence and was facing an automatic 6-month disqualification), and
Demerit points which could trigger further suspension.
As experienced traffic lawyers in Parramatta, our team acted swiftly. We:
Entered into early negotiations with the police
Successfully had the negligent driving charge withdrawn
Compiled strong character evidence showing our client’s upstanding community involvement, good driving history, and genuine remorse
We then made persuasive submissions at court arguing that the remaining charge did not warrant punishment by way of a fine, conviction, or licence consequence.
The Magistrate agreed with our submissions and ultimately:
Dismissed the charge in full under section 10(1)(a)
No conviction recorded
No fine imposed
No demerit points, and
No licence disqualification
This was an exceptional result, particularly as our client was on a good behaviour licence and stood to lose his licence for 6 months and carry a criminal record.
