Cases considering section 7 3
[2009] EWHC 3082 (Admin) · 30 October 2009
Applies the offence of failing without reasonable cause to provide a specimen when required. The court treated the request for legal advice as incapable, on these facts, of constituting a reasonable excuse for refusal. (see paras [1]-[3]; [27])
[2005] EWHC 3234 (Admin) · 13 April 2005Limits
The judgment records that the specimens were not initially obtained under the section 7 procedure applicable to an investigation of a driving offence. That procedural departure formed part of the basis for considering admissibility under section 15(2). (see paras [2], [5]-[6])
[2006] EWHC 3429 (Admin) · 8 November 2006
The appeal did not determine the justices’ interpretation of section 7(7), because the claimant abandoned that contention. The substantive issue decided was instead whether refusal to provide the second specimen had a reasonable excuse. (see paras [3]-[4]; [27])
What each judgment says about section 7 is in the case-law panel in the full Act.
