CE was charged with ‘Drive motor vehicle with illicit drug present in oral fluid.’
Chris Cole acted for CE at Waverley Local Court. CE entered a plea of guilty to the offence and he was sentenced by Magistrate Barko.
Chris tendered various subjective materials at sentencing, including an affidavit, character references and proof of completing the Traffic Offenders Rehabilitation Program. The Presiding Magistrate ultimately determined that it was inexpedient to impose any punishment on CE and dismissed the charge pursuant to Section 10 (1)(a) of the Crimes Sentencing Procedure Act. This meant that CE kept his license and no penalty was imposed.
