No you can't.

No, not even if you're claiming benefits.

You may find a no win no fee Lawyer if you look around but they will look at the case before they take it on and it won't pay them much so I doubt it.

You just might find that your insurance may include "Legal" and there is a very thin chance they could help.

If you are renting and don't have your own insurance I believe the technical term is "You are Bu88ered".

He may tell us, he may not.

By the way "Charliez" you are always able to represent yourself, but you need to be reasonably up to speed at procedure. It would also help to have a very good case.

Hi, and thanks for the replies.
The license was revoked for ....
1. Informing council 4 weeks after I had a conviction, and not informing them when I should of... The conviction which is being appealed next week. The conviction being for assault by battery on partner of five years. ( in our own home ). I still profess my innocence, as it was me who was assaulted ! Council had hardly any information about what had actually happened... Police gave them hardly any help whatsoever. It seemed they read the charge of 'assault by battery' as how they wanted to interpret it... Whereas if you weren't too clued up, it does sound bad. But trying to explain that it's basically just new wording for the 'common assault' charge,, which can be for anything as little as flicking someone on their arm ! That would now constitute 'assault by battery'. !!!

2. Allegedly breaching a restraining order twice, which as of yet... I still haven't been to court for !

Unless you have the conviction overturned then the Council have acted in the "interest of the public". The Council do not have the power to suspend your license pending the outcome of your appeal and then revoking later. They can, however, remove a revokation if the conviction is quashed.

They know you was found guilty, not really sure it's their position to second guess the court.

That said I wish you well with your appeal, which will be a complete re-run of the original hearing.

I suggest you learn from that hearing.

Be careful as that, should you be found guilty, could see you go inside.

And for that you should get legal aid.
