The client was prosecuted for driving with excess alcohol (76 in breath). The issues in the case were post driving alcohol consumption (hip flask defence) and mistakes in police procedure as the police failed to complete a back track calculation before making the charging decision. Neil Blackaby (reviewing lawyer) persuaded the prosecution to discontinue the charges on the date of trial after serving a favourable expert report and raising non-disclosure of the custody record which was required as it was necessary to check the medication provided to the client in custody.
