He was convicted and sentenced to the mandatory minimum 6 month licence disqualification period. He instructed us that he required his licence to assist his special needs students complete extracurricular activities, so we managed to achieve an urgent appeal listing within 2 weeks. On appeal, we persuaded the judge to deal with the matter by way of a section 10 no conviction, and our client’s licence was returned.
