Prosecution dropped against national hire car company following s.172 charge

Millicent Dooher, barrister, represented this national hire car company following their s.172 charge for failing to provide the details of a driver after a vehicle owned by them was involved in a road traffic offence. The Company were arguing that they had not received the s.172 notice, meaning that they were not guilty of the offence. Following the preparation of the case, the matter was reviewed by the Court and CPS. The CPS offered no evidence to the charge.

This means that the matter was dismissed, and the Company faced no further prosecution for this matter.
