Lack of disclosure

Your girlfriend should have asked that the "certificate of offence" be marked to indicate that the reason for the adjournment was for lack of disclosure , so that the court knows why the case was adjourned on the first court date.

Now to do the case properly the court can request that you provide proof as to why the case was adjourned on the first ...

As it ...

Drive Suspended

The officer has to prove to the court that you were driving the car. If they cant prove that then the case will be dismissed.

If you hire a paralegal I think their is a good chance the case will be dropped, if you do it yourself I think you will have a problem because the prosecution will try to get you to testify, if you take the stand they are ...
