If the Council wish to interview a driver under caution, is that driver entitled to the services of a duty solicitor the same as if they were being interviewed under caution by the police? |

I do not see any reason why he should not be accompanied by a legal or a friend representative. |

If it's similar to this, it looks like no. Do I get free legal advice? For voluntary interviews conducted by non-police investigators, the provision of legal advice is set out by the Legal Aid Agency in the Standard Crime Contract Specification. The rules mean that a non-police interviewer who does not have their own statutory power of arrest would have to inform a suspect that they have a right to seek legal advice if they wish, but payment would be a matter for them to arrange with the solicitor. |

No. But I suspect a solicitor might advise attending, listening to the council's issues, and saying nothing. |

Unfortunately he didn't seek advice before attending and unfortunately he did speak. He got 6 Council points on his Council badge. I did call him a fool. |

Sadly the world is full of numpties that seek advice after the event, rather than prior to it. Out of interest does the council have an internal appeal process for these points? |

The man who represents himself in court, ( or before a council kangaroo court ) has an idiot for a client. |

They do, but this particular driver would probably come away from an appeal with another 6 points and no license. |
