Represented the Appellant in an appeal against conviction for two charges of failing to provide information as to the identity of a driver. SM was the Director of a Company to which the relevant vehicle was registered. The Crown failed to properly pursue the Company prior to pursuing SM as a Director and there was no basis for her being pursued as an individual. The Crown refused to offer no evidence so an application to dismiss was made. Not guilty verdicts entered on both charges. Defence costs order granted.
Prosecuted a trial for driving with a proportion of specified controlled drug above the specified limit. The Defence took issue with continuity of blood samples, procedure, and consent of the Defendant and the Doctor. The trial included multiple legal arguments, including the Defence seeking to exclude key Prosecution evidence and admit expert evidence mid-trial. Following successful legal arguments, a guilty verdict was returned.
Represented JV who was charged with assault occasioning actual bodily harm, which was captured on CCTV. Despite no independent evidence that the injury could have been caused during a different altercation that evening, the Court was persuaded to return not guilty verdicts. Defence costs order granted.
