The client was prosecuted for driving with excess alcohol (128 in blood). The issues in the case were the continuity of the blood sample, the client was not given the option of urine when there were medical reasons for not giving blood and failure to provide blood sample for independent analysis. David Houldcroft (Gold panel lawyer) instructed by Sandra Cooper (reviewing lawyer) persuaded the prosecution to offer no evidence having successfully opposed an adjournment request by the prosecution due to non-attendance of the health care professional who took the sample.
