Waverley Local Court

Represented by solicitor: Robert Hoyles

Facts: Our client was charged with supplying a prohibited drug and driving whilst disqualified.  The police indicated that he had made complete admissions to both offences.  He had not.  He was also not disqualified at the time of the offence and there was no other evidence of drug supply. 

Result:  Our solicitor made representations to the police to drop both charges and replace the charge with a possess prohibited drug charge.  The police did not realize their mistake and refused to do so.  We proceeded to defend the matter.  Several months later the police realized that they had charged him with the wrong offence.  The police were out of time to file a Possess Prohibited Drug charge.  All charges were dropped.  Our solicitor made a successful costs application and thousands of dollars of legal costs were paid to our client by the NSW Police Service.
