Dangerous Driving Causing GHB Downgraded

Ms Dowling recently represented a client who had been charged with Dangerous Driving Causing GHB, Failure to Stop and Failure to Render Assistance.  Following negotiations, two of the client’s charges were discontinued and the remaining count amended to Careless Driving Causing GBH.  The client was sentenced to a fine of $4000 and disqualification of 12 months after Ms Dowling persuaded the Court that imprisonment was not appropriate.
