Mr J had been summonsed to South West Surrey Magistrates Court in relation to driving without due care and attention. This offence carries penalty points and discretionary disqualification. Prior to Mr J entering a plea, Tom wrote to the Crown Prosecution Service requesting that they discontinue the case as the prosecution was not in the “interest of justice”. Tom was successful in this. Notwithstanding the fact that Mr J, from Huntingdon in Cambridgeshire, had never appeared in Court, a defendants’ costs order was awarded entitling him to a full reimbursement of fees.
