Death by Dangerous Driving |
Exceptional HardshipMany clients arrive at court not only unrepresented but also unprepared to address the court in relation to the pertinent points. If you are liable to a period of disqualification under what is referred to under the “totting up” provisions (i.e. twelve points of more) the Court must impose a minimum mandatory period of six months disqualification, unless it can be satisfied on the balance of probabilities that exceptional hardship would follow. Even if there is exceptional hardship the Court still has a discretion whether to disqualify or not, but it can be for a reduced period or indeed no period at all. It is therefore imperative that the Court is presented with all relevant facts in an admissible and orderly fashion in readiness for the hearing, this will ensure the best possible chance of receiving a favourable result and will also avoid a lengthy and expensive appeal process.
