Case Study

Our client was involved in a serious case of alleged family violence, including charges of conduct endangering life, recklessly causing injury and common assault. Given the severity of the context of the situation and potential for a maximum term of up to 10 years imprisonment, the case required scrutinous examination by our legal team, leading to the uncovering of a weakness in the prosecution’s case.

We engaged in discussion with the prosecution, requesting to have all charges against our client withdrawn. Due to the weakness in their case brought up by our legal team, this offer was accepted by the prosecution on the condition that we do not apply for costs. After our client accepted this offer, we attended the hearing where prosecution withdrew all charges against them. This is an extremely positive outcome, given the circumstances of alleged family violence and potential term of imprisonment.
