Exceptional Hardship Appeal Allowed due to Child’s Sporting Activities.

This driver had received a 6 month disqualification from the Magistrates for ‘totting’. Millicent Dooher represented him at his appeal hearing at the Crown Court. Prior to the hearing, Millicent had obtained a suspension of the disqualification pending the appeal, so the driver could continue to drive. The driver claimed exceptional hardship on the basis of his employment and his children’s sporting commitments. The Court accepted that exceptional hardship was present and imposed no period of disqualification.
