Case study 1 - Pleading guilty by post
The original offence was a speeding matter relating to November 2007. A request was made for the client to provide details of the driver on that date. This information was not provided and he was then summonsed to attend at Court for failing to provide that information.
The client pleaded guilty by post and was advised by a letter dated 14 March 2008 that he had been fined in relation to that offence. There was no reference at all to any points being endorsed on his licence and no reference to him awaiting contact from the DVLA.
There was certainly no reference to his licence being revoked.
He went on to drive his vehicle and in May 2008 was stopped by the Police. When they checked his details, their records showed that his licence had been revoked. He hadn't been notified of this and in fact wasn't notified by the DVLA until 1 June 2008 that his licence had been revoked.
