The Case
In the circumstances of the instant case, where the defendant had pleaded guilty to, inter alia, driving whilst disqualified and driving with excess alcohol, the anti-social behaviour order imposed, preventing the defendant from owning or borrowing any motor vehicle until further order would be quashed. The substantial effect of the anti-social behaviour order imposed in the instant case was no more than to transfer any such offences into a different offence, namely breach of an anti-social behaviour order, so as to increase the potential penalty. In all the circumstances of the instant case, the order was unjustified and disproportionate.
