Fines For Serious Driving Offences
On 30 October 2019 our solicitor Mark Maloney appeared at Cessnock Local Court on behalf of a client charged with Drive With High Range PCA and Negligent Driving.
Mr Maloney made submissions to the court about the client’s insight into his offending, the level of contrition shown and his pro-active response to rehabilitation, the court imposed a fine of $2,000 and a disqualification period of nine months for the first offence. It fined the client $500 for the second offence.
This was a great result for our client considering the objective seriousness of his offending.
Not Guilty Verdict on Indecent Assault Charge
Our solicitor Mark Maloney recently represented a client on a charge of Indecent Assault Person Under 16 years of age, pursuant to Section 61M(2) of the Crimes Act 1900 (NSW).
The client contested the charge. Mr Maloney succeeded in excluding numerous parts of the prosecution material from evidence. During the hearing, multiple prosecution witnesses were cross-examined and the client’s evidence was ventilated in court.
After considering the material and evidence before the court, His Honour was not satisfied beyond a reasonable doubt that our client was guilty of the charge. The client was acquitted.
