    Folks,

    Hope one of the good members of AGS can help with a query.

    Mate of mine has his appeal being heard in Circuit Court in a couple of weeks. Original case in District Court, he was found guilty of no insurance and no driving license in his absence. He has the driving license and certificate of insurance which he is waiting to present at the appeal. Does he need representation at the appeal or would he be ok on his own with all the relevant documentation. He has spoken with the prosecuting Garda who is happy that the documentation is all in order. Is there any danger the judge will not overturn the original 2 year driving ban and relevant fines?

    Thanks in advance!

    Ok I'm just going to post as a student and my thoughts on it;
    Should he have representatioon YES
    Why? He is going to have to explain why when he was 1st stopped and asked to produce Licence and Insurance to a Garda Staation within 10 days he failed to, so there fore he was then summoned to court.
    Then also have a good enough and valid reason why when summoned to court he did not show up to defend himself; So was charged to the full letter of the law.

    Just posting foe historical reasons and will be very interested to see what acting members will say how this could play out
