Technical Defence To Failure To Report
![Glasgow Sheriff Court and Justice of the Peace Court](/images/courts/new-glasgow-sheriff-court.jpg)
Our client was accused of failing to report an accident. Having initially instructed another solicitor, he changed to our Firm.
When we received the Court papers, we uncovered a fundamental flaw in the Crown case.
The Procurator Fiscal's Office did not want to concede that such an error had been made and asked the Court to assign a Diet of Debate.
Our Mr Simpson attended Glasgow JP Court on 3rd March 2022 to partake in the debate.
The case called and within 60 seconds, the Crown - very properly - conceded the point.
Our client was acquitted of the charge on technical grounds and retained his driving licence.
Kept Licence!
