Monday 10th December

Today was a busy morning and afternoon for Regan as he was in court and attending meetings for the majority of the day. His court hearing concerned an application for a confiscation order – the final hearing is set for this Friday. Gemma was also out of the office, so I had to be in charge of my own time for much of the day.

Tomorrow, Regan is representing a client who faces being disqualified as a totter. Regan is going to argue that this will cause him exceptional hardship, and seek to keep him driving. I organised all of the court bundles, something which takes a long time, because we have to be sure that they are correct.

Next I sorted out more correspondence for another client who’s trial is also this week. That client faces an allegation of failing to provide a specimen of breath to the police. We have managed to obtain important medical evidence, and I provided it to the court and prosecution, so that they can consider it ahead of the trial.

Throughout the day I received lots of calls from potential clients. I took detail about their cases, so that Regan was able to return calls later in the day. I will be able to work on some of those cases next week!

It was a relaxed day in the office.
