Dear Ms Havisham,
Melbourne Magistrates’ Court – 23 August 2021 – Contested Hearing
Our Senior Partner, Harvey Spencer, appeared on your behalf before Magistrate Smith at the Melbourne Magistrates’ Court on 23 August 2021 for the first mention of your matter. You were excused from attending.
Mr Spencer entered into negotiations with the prosecution, arguing that the charges should be withdrawn on the basis of your instructions and the limited evidence available in the preliminary brief. Police refused to withdraw the charges without time to gather further evidence. When the matter was mentioned in court, Mr Spencer argued that it should be adjourned directly to contested hearing. Magistrate Smith accepted that argument and, in accordance with your instructions, the matter was adjourned.
