Adrian Palmer recently represented Mr D at Derby Crown Court in respect of an appeal against sentence at High Peak Magistrates Court in Derbyshire. Mr D was disqualified for a period of 6 months under the totting up procedure as he had accumulated 12 penalty points.

He instructed Cunninghams Solicitors to deal with the appeal at Derby Crown Court. The Court were minded to interfere with the sentence imposed by the Magistrates and reduced the disqualification period down from six months to three months. The Court were persuaded by the fact that Mr D’s business was in a difficult state and that he played a vital role in that business amongst other matters.
