Strategic Defence Secures Discontinuation in Fatal Collision Case
Charges Dropped – Client Exonerated
Defence
Overview
Our client [the defendant] faced serious allegations of conspiring to pervert the course of justice in connection with a fatal road traffic collision. Following strategic representations by Ashmans Solicitors, the case was discontinued.
The charges were significant, carrying the risk of a lengthy custodial sentence, and required our robust and comprehensive legal defence.
The Allegations
Our client, along with four other individuals, was charged with conspiracy to pervert the course of justice. The Prosecution alleged that our client conspired with four others within the West Yorkshire and Lincolnshire region to conceal a vehicle that had been involved in a fatal road traffic collision. This was claimed to be an attempt to frustrate the police investigation.
If convicted, our client would have received a lengthy custodial sentence, and so the legal defence needed to be watertight, robust and fully comprehensive.

The Challenges
This case presented several key challenges:
- The involvement of multiple defendants across different regions.
- The fatal nature of the road traffic collision, which heightened the stakes for our client.
- The importance of overcoming all challenges to preserve our client’s freedom and future
We needed to overcome these challenges to secure a favourable outcome for our client.
Our Defence Strategy
From the outset, we adopted a meticulous and strategic approach to the case.
Our Criminal Law team conducted an in-depth review of all the evidence, focusing on:
- Scrutinising the Prosecution’s claims to identify weaknesses in their interpretation.
- Making consistent and well-founded representations to the Prosecution throughout the process.
- Engaging in thorough negotiations to ensure a fair and balanced outcome for our client.
- Securing the discontinuation of the charges, demonstrating our client’s innocence and the flaws in the case.
Our strategic defence showcased Ashmans Solicitors’ unwavering commitment to achieving the best possible outcomes for our clients.
The Result
The case against our client was discontinued, which meant that there was no custodial sentence or criminal record.
This outcome not only exonerated our client but also reinforced the value of Ashmans expert legal representation in achieving justice, against all odds.
