Perverting the Course of Justice – Defendant Avoids Jail

This defendant was caught speeding on the M1. He already had 9 points on his licence. He paid an associate to take the points for him. Represented by Harry Bowyer, he pleaded guilty at the earliest opportunity and the case was adjourned for pre sentence reports. At the adjourned hearing, the defendant again represented by Harry Bowyer, the Judge was impressed with the mitigation advanced and suspended the inevitable sentence of imprisonment.

SBC were able to provide continuity of representation both in the Magistrates Court and the Crown Court to ensure that the defendant was able to get maximum credit for his plea and the full benefit of his mitigation.
