hi,
i have a question for a friend of mine. unfortunately and stupidy he got caught for drinking and driving. anyway the court case has been adjourned on a few occassions, so he has not been convicted of any offence yet. the problem is that he decided to tell his insurance broker, that he had a case pending. his normal insurance for the year is 450 euros, but since he told his insurance broker about this, the insurance broker is charging him 180 euros a month for his insurance, since he told him that he had a case pending in the courts. is this legal what the insurance broker is doing as he is not even convicted yet of drinking and driving. please advise THE KING
Obviously where the insurance company is concerned they seem to ignore the "innocent until proven guilty" principle.

Yes he will have to disclose all his skeletons particulary to a new company.As a previous poster said he's not innocent if his sample was over the limit..........thats it really!!

There is no innocent until proven guilty here. The only way I have seem people not being charged with drink driving when they have tested positive is to get off on a technicality. Hardly being proved innocent then. I've sure the insurnace companies that the same view.
You said in your first message that he was drinking and driving.
So he was stopped and tested and was over the limit.

Once the blood alcohol is medically or forensically over the limit -thats as good as a conviction.
all it takes for the case to be thrown out is for the guards not to follow correct procedure or to make a simple error like get the name of the hinterland where the offence was alleged to have taken place incorrect . It's a regular occurence where I'm living that drink driving cases are dismissed on technicalities.
if the person is stopped while driving under the influence of alcohol, its not a GPS system that they need for their defense, its a miracle they need.....
No it's a solicitor who understands the legal system/process a lot better than you do that the defendant needs - whether the law is an ass or not is a completely different matter, that's an issue you need to take up with the legislators.
