Our client was charged with driving without authority, marking their ninth conviction for this offence. Previously, the client had been sentenced to two suspended terms of imprisonment for similar offences.

We advised the client to gather specific documentation to support their case at the sentencing hearing, including proof of the sale of their vehicle, character references, and employment confirmation.

Despite the prosecution’s push for immediate imprisonment, we successfully persuaded the Magistrate to impose a third suspended term of imprisonment for the offence, allowing our client to avoid jail time.
