Our solicitor Mr Gary Bryan was instructed by a client who had been charged with Drink Driving contrary to section 5 (1) a of the Road Traffic Act 1988.
The print out from the Camic Datamaster breathalyser machine showed that the machine had been operating correctly.
The client was nevertheless concerned that the reading was unduly high.
Client mentioned that prior to providing the two samples that gave rise to the evidential print out he had provided an earlier two specimens from which the machine had produced blank print outs.
Our Solicitor advised client to enter a not guilty plea and a trial date was fixed.
Our Solicitor made a written legal submission arguing that the legal requirements that the police have to follow had only been complied with in relation to the first two samples that had produced blank print outs but had not been followed in relation to the 3rd and 4th samples upon which the prosecution were now relying.
The matter proceeded all the way through to Trial with our solicitor cross examining the police officer and presenting to the District Judge his legal argument.
The defendant was found Not Guilty. Thereby avoiding a lengthy ban and a Criminal conviction.
