Possession of a bladed article
D was charged with possession of a bladed article (knife) which was located within a vehicle that he had been present in/driving. The vehicle did not belong to him.

D maintained that he had no knowledge of the knife being in the centre console of the vehicle.

The Prosecution alleged that he was in possession of the knife as this was in the vehicle that he was arrested from.

Detailed consideration of the Prosecution evidence and willingness to challenge this evidence on the day of trial resulted in a successful trial whereupon D was acquitted of the offence by the Magistrates.
