Charges:
Contravention of domestic violence order x2
Court Attended:
Southport Magistrates Court
Attendance Date:
September 2021
Overview of Case:
Our client was charged with one offence before the Court.
We spoke to our client to take their version of events and to obtain detailed instructions. Our client advised that they would be pleading not guilty to the offence. We therefore prepared the matter for a Trial in the Magistrates Court and obtained the full brief of evidence relied upon by Police.
Our client had no criminal history and minimal traffic history, it was our view that the Police Prosecutors could not satisfy the Court that our client has committed the acts as charged.
Outcome:
The matter was finalised by the Police Prosecutor offering no evidence on the charges and withdrew both charges before the Court. Therefore, our client was discharged and the charges were dismissed.
