     Title: 8 victories in one day!

Possibly our best day ever at Patterson!!

8 Cases defended/points avoided/withdrawn in one day.

Todays Victories;

Senior Case Progression Officer Nikki Clarke defended a mobile phone case by getting it withdrawn by the CPS without the need for a trial. They agreed that they did not have a realistic chance of convicting our client.

Senior Case Progression Officer Nikki Clarke - Police station Investigation for driving without due - no further action agreed by police.

Case Progression Officer Hannah Groves - no insurance court case dropped - CPS agree insufficient evidence.

Case Progression Officer Hannah Groves - Successful Exceptional Hardship argument on a client that had reached 12 points in three years.

Case Progression Officer Hannah Groves - Ongoing court case for driving without due care and contravening traffic signs - where our client drove into the path of an oncoming off duty police officer - case withdrawn and client allowed to do the driver improvement course.

Senior Case Progression Officer Ria Pleass - Section 172 failed to name driver - withdrawn without trial after CPS agreed they did not have a realistic chance of winning at trial - trial was listed for 2 weeks time.

Senior Case Progression Officer Dominic Smith - due care and attention trial - client found not guilty after trial. Magistrates doubted the credibility of the purported victim under cross examination.

Case Progression Officer Alicia Payne - No insurance allegation. We helped our client avoid penalty points and he was given an absolute discharge meaning the conviction was spent imediately.
