Successful Licence Appeal at Newtown Local Court
Astor Legal recently appeared on a successful licence appeal at Newtown Local Court. Our client was a 20-year-old female facing a three-month suspension for exceeding the speed limit over 30km/hr.
We initially sent our client our specialised guides on character references and apology letters for licence appeals.
We also referred her to complete one of the traffic offenders programs which the court prefers.
Prior to the appearance, we took significant time to review her documents and ensure they addressed all relevant matters.
Despite the client having a lengthy traffic record, our licence appeal lawyer argued that our client had a strong need for her licence as part of her employment.
We submitted that she was on call 24/7 and often travelled to her workplace outside of public transport hours. We further submitted that she was the only grandchild who regularly assisted her grandfather with day-to-day tasks and attending medical appointments.
In the result, we were able to persuade the Magistrate to allow the appeal. Our client was able to continue driving and she was overjoyed with the result.
