The client was prosecuted for being drunk in charge (156 in blood). He was asleep in his vehicle due to a disagreement with other occupants at his shared accommodation and he was not intending to drive for a few days. Also the officer unlawfully attempted to dissuade the client against having his own blood sample independently analysed. At the second hearing Victoria Maud instructed by Neil Blackaby (reviewing lawyer) persuaded the prosecution to offer no evidence.
