Our client was referred to us by his family lawyer to contest an allegation that he has assaulted and injured his wife prior to Police attending their home and finding her unconscious and bleeding. After months of meticulous and thorough preparation for trial, we challenged the credibility and reliability of the wife’s evidence in cross-examination so effectively that the Magistrate agreed with our closing submissions that her account was so inconsistent and embellished as to be ‘wholly unreliable’.
The charged was dismissed and our client was awarded the majority of his legal costs.
