Prosecution Drop Section 172 Charges After Representations from SBC

Our client was prosecuted for failing to identify a driver, an offence under S172 Road Traffic Act. He had been served with a Notice of Intended Prosecution for suspected careless driving. He completed the Notice identifying himself but inadvertently used the wrong section of the form. Prior to a trial, our solicitor Laura Newton was able to persuade the Prosecution to drop all charges. The Court ordered that the prosecution pay his legal costs incurred.
