Prenuptial Agreements - London Solicitors

prenuptial,agreement,london,prenuptial agreement london


If you are contemplating marriage and wish to protect your future financial position, you can enter into a pre-marital or prenuptial agreement. This is particularly useful when there is a business involved, inherited assets or when the interests of children from previous relationships need to be protected.

These agreements are not yet legally binding in England and Wales but are evidence of intent, and weight may be placed upon them by the court if the marriage later fails.

A prenuptial agreement must be entered into well in advance of a wedding and both individuals must have had the opportunity to obtain independent legal advice. Financial disclosure is essential.

Drink Driving Offences - Learn the Law

The courts take drink driving offences (alcohol driving offences) and drug-related motoring offences very seriously. In addition to a criminal record, a convicted motorist can expect a lengthy period off the road and there is a possibility that the motorist may be given a community penalty or even a custodial sentence. Moreover, drink driving law imposes very detailed procedural requirements on the police and prosecuting authorities, which makes this a minefield for the unwary. It is therefore important to obtain specialist legal advice at the earliest opportunity.

There are two principal drink driving offences which are prosecuted by the police, namely driving with excess alcohol and being drunk in charge of a motor vehicle. There is a significant difference in these two offences, in that following a conviction for an offence of driving whilst over the limit, a disqualification is mandatory, whereas the court has a discretion not to disqualify in the event of a conviction for being drunk in charge of a motor vehicle. It is therefore vitally important to consider all of the evidence in detail, to ascertain what, if any, offence has been committed.

defence

Even though it may seem that once you have been stopped by a police officer and failed a roadside screening breath test, you are facing an open and shut case, there may be a number of possible defences open to the motorist who may have committed a drink driving offence.

Many defences to drink drive allegations are of a technical nature, but even factual defences will often require supporting expert evidence.

At every stage, important questions have to be asked about the process adopted by the police. The Motoring Offences team at Blake Lapthorn solicitors has many years experience in defending motorists accused of drink driving offences and are used to guiding motorists through the complexities of these procedures. We can call upon the services of leading medical experts in this field as required.

penalties

The offence of driving with excess alcohol is punishable with up to six months in prison, or a fine of up to £5,000, and disqualification from driving for a minimum period of 12 months (36 months for a second offence).

If the charge is one of being in charge of a motor vehicle whilst over the limit, a prison sentence of up to three months is the maximum penalty. A driving disqualification or endorsement with 10 penalty points will also be ordered.

Even when a motorist is convicted of these offences, this is not necessarily the end of the matter. It may be possible to avoid a driving disqualification.

The imposition of a driving ban is extremely likely to have a significant adverse impact on both the family and working life of the motorist. It will therefore be imperative to try and reduce the length of any such ban. In these circumstances it is important to speak with specialist legal practitioners to advise on how best to present crucial mitigation and keep any ban to a minimum, which may in the end be the difference between retaining a job and losing it.
