Successful Appeal to the Crown Court: 6-month Disqualification Quashed due to Exceptional Hardship

Millicent Dooher, barrister, represented this driver at his appeal hearing before the Crown Court following the imposition of a 6-month disqualification after accumulating more than 12 penalty points in 3 years, ‘totting’. The Court were persuaded that this driver would suffer exceptional hardship should the disqualification be reimposed and as such they imposed no period of disqualification for this driver.

The grounds for exceptional hardship can be tricky: but in this case, the exceptional hardship was mostly based on non-financial factors. If you are facing a totting disqualification, get in touch with one of our lawyers.
