The client was prosecuted for driving with excess alcohol. The issues in the case were mistakes in procedure as the police had failed to complete the MG DD/A booklet and did not ask questions to eliminate contamination. The prosecution also failed to serve a copy of the breath test printout 7 days before trial as required by the Road Traffic Offenders Act 1988. Eugene McLaughlin (Gold panel lawyer) instructed by Laura Heywood (reviewing lawyer) persuaded the prosecution to offer no evidence at the second hearing after successfully opposing an attempt to adjourn the case to allow time to serve the evidence.
