The appeal Courts have been reluctant to lay down any strict rules as to what amounts to exceptional hardship and stressed that each case should be decided on its own facts.
For example loss of employment as a result of a driving ban will not normally be considered. However the effect of the loss of employment both on the defendant and any innocent third parties can and often does amount to exceptional hardship.
It is therefore important that every case is carefully investigated and all lines of enquiry are explored. We have extensive experience of taking our clients’ detailed instructions and identifying the key factors relevant to the case to present it to the court.
Our Criminal Defence specialists have an impressive record in arguing exceptional hardship in court and supporting clients to keep their driving license.
