The client was prosecuted for driving with cannabis above the specified limit (4.3 in blood). The client was dissuaded from taking her own sample to be independently tested and the nurse who took the blood sample failed to shake the container for 30 seconds for the preservative to take effect which raised questions about the reliability of the sample. At the second hearing which was listed for trial Richard Berman (Gold panel lawyer) instructed by Laura Heywood (reviewing lawyer) persuaded the court to dismiss the charges after the prosecution failed to arrange for the toxicologist to attend to give evidence.
