08.01.2022 Today our principal solicitor Daniel Wilson succeeded in obtaining Appeals Bail for a client in the Sydney District Court Downing Centre. The client is in the process of appealing convictions handed down in the Local Court of Assault occasioning Actual Bodily Harm and Common Assault. The client is also appealing the severity of sentence meaning the application on foot is known as an "all grounds appeal". In first instance the Local Court Magistrate refused appeals bail. On 30... January 2020 the matter was for the first time in the District Court List. What became apparent in that list was there was some delay expected as the transcripts and exhibits were not on file. Sensing an avenue for bail might exist we immediately lodged a District Court bail application. That application was heard today. Detailed 14 page submissions were drafted and an Affidavit in support were tendered to the Court in support of the application. After a lengthy hearing we succeeded in having strict bail granted. To obtain this success we had to overcome the strict tests as set out in the Bails Act, including per Section 74 (demonstrating a change in circumstances (delay)), and Section 18, (demonstrating to the Court that a reasonably arguable prospect of success on appeal could be had (self defence & special circumstances)). Needless to say the client and his family are ecstatic with this result and can begin to now enjoy the freedoms lost in the Local Court. The all grounds appeal is now set down for 14 April 2020. On this date the District Court will determine if the Local Court convictions are in fact sound and/or if the sentence is too severe. See more

02.01.2022 This morning we attended Downing Centre Court for our client charged with possession and supply of a trafficable indictable quantity of GHB. During prior negotiations with police we were able to successfully represent the deficiencies in the prosecution case against our client. One specific deficiencies was the statue bar of the drug possession charge. Drug possession is a summary offence that means that police MUST commence proceedings in Court within 6 months of the allege...d offence. The prosecution commenced the proceedings 6 months and 1 day after the alleged offence. The alleged offence occurred we say before midnight meaning it was still the previous day, thus the delay in this case of the offence occurring just prior to midnight meant that the offence was statue barred by 1 day from proceeding. This resulted in our successful representation and the withdrawal of all proceeding against our client in Court today. Regardless, of the timing issue our client also had a warranted defence which was also represented to police of not knowing the clear liquid in a bottle found in the car he was driving was a drug. Possession and Supply requires knowledge and control before someone can be in possession and to that extend convicted of supply.
