The client was prosecuted for driving with excess alcohol (144 in urine). The officer did not discard a specimen of urine before taking one for use in evidence contrary to instructions in the specimen booklet, the sample had been frozen by the police instead of being placed in a refrigerator and the continuity of the sample was also disputed. David Houldcroft instructed by Robert English (reviewing lawyer) persuaded the prosecution to offer no evidence in respect of the driving with excess alcohol matter and to accept a guilty plea instead to careless driving with no driving ban.
