Defending Drinking and
Driving Cases 2011 |
Drawing upon the author's wealth of experience as a
criminal defence lawyer, this practice guide provides expert instruction on how
to represent an accused charged with a drinking and driving offence.
Defending Drinking and Driving Cases explains how to prepare, develop,
and strategically present an effective defence, beginning with the client's
initial telephone call from the police station. The constituent elements of the
offences, and the issues to which they give rise, are systematically examined
within the governing strategy, constitutional, and jurisprudential framework.
Topics addressed include the validity of the approved screening device test,
proof of impairment, admissibility of blood and breathalyzer results, Charter
defences, the concept of "care and control," and sentencing. The technical
aspects of demands, breathalyzer reports, certificates and alcohol influence
reports are also covered. |

The 2011 edition has been updated to reflect all
the legislative amendments since the last edition and incorporates all
significant developments in the case law.
