Special Reasons, exceptional hardship and discretionary disqualifications; exceptionally hard to tell the difference!

This short webinar based on the Road Traffic legislation applicable to Northern Ireland will consider issues ranging from special reasons to short disqualifications with reference to the applicable case law in each particular area.

As well as focusing upon the Road Traffic (NI) Order itself, this webinar will seek to address other useful documents such as the Public Prosecution Service Road Traffic Policy document and the Judicial Studies Board Magistrates Court Sentencing Guidelines. This session will provide guidance as to pertinent definitions, time-limits and the different types of disposals for those clients who fall foul of our road traffic legislation.
