The client was prosecuted for driving with excess alcohol (55 in breath). The issues in the case included fitness to be detained at the police station and the reliability of the evidential breath test device. Phillip Lucas instructed by Sandra Cooper (reviewing lawyer) successfully opposed an adjournment request by the prosecution after the police officers failed to attend and the prosecution required time to prepare the case after receiving the papers on the morning of the hearing. The case was dismissed after the prosecution offered no evidence.
