Case Studies
Common Assault & Destroy Property:
Charges Dismissed Before Court Proceedings
Case overview
Our client was charged with common assault and destroy/damage property. It was absolutely vital for our client to receive a non-conviction as he was studying to become a lawyer.
Upon instructions from our client and our analysis of the police brief which included body worn footage, interviews and photographs of the alleged damage, we formed the view that our client had been wrongly prosecuted. As soon as we were instructed, we sent formal written representations to the police proposing that both charges and accompanying ADVO be withdrawn and dismissed.
Case Result
Our representations were considered and accepted. As such, both charges and accompanying ADVO were formally withdrawn and dismissed. This was a fantastic result in record time which spared a young and intelligent young man from having to go through a lengthy and stressful court process.
