Domestic Assault Police Caution
Our Client, a teacher, had been issued a police caution in relation to domestic dispute; the client had sought to separate from her partner who was controlling and violent.
On the day of the couple’s separation the “victim” in the case faked injuries to himself and called the police; our client was arrested and subsequently cautioned. The client’s first language was not English and was unable to properly understand the complexities of the legal process – this is not uncommon for most suspects, even the most gifted and able, even where English is their first language.
The client previously instructed a solicitor to try and remove her police caution, this application did not succeed.
Eventually the police agreed with our submissions and removed the caution from the client’s record. The client has now returned to teaching.
