Christopher Cole represented JK in his ‘Driving whilst using mobile phone’ matter in the Local Court of NSW. JK had already lost a number of demerit points and relies heavily on his license as a healthcare worker.
A plea of ‘guilty’ was entered to the offence. Chris Cole tendered an Affidavit sworn by JK and made oral submissions on his behalf. His Honour had regard to the material presented and ultimately dismissed the matter pursuant to s 10(1)(a) Crimes (Sentencing Procedure) Act 1999.
This is an excellent result for JK, as he is able to continue providing rural healthcare with the use of his driver’s license.
