Acting Solicitor: Shaun Pascoe
Facts of the Case - Intentionally cause injury
Client was charged with intentionally cause injury. The Magistrate had refused the application for diversion initially on the grounds that the charge and circumstances of offending were too serious. Client was a taxi-driver, and the incident which gave rise to the offences occurred during at the Melbourne Airport. A conviction for any assault charges would result in his client losing his registration to drive taxis.
Results Achieved
After lengthly submissions, the Court was persuaded to place his client on a diversion, thereby enabling client to continue working as a taxi-driver.
