Client’s issue
The client sought legal help after being held administratively liable. There was a real risk of a fine and a one-year driving disqualification. This was critical because the driver’s document directly affected the client’s mobility and daily needs. The client’s priority was the Return of a driver's license as soon as lawful grounds appeared.
Process handled by the lawyer
The lawyer supported the matter as administrative proceedings in Poland. The strategy was to:
- build a clear legal position,
- manage communication with the police and the court properly,
- control deadlines and procedural details that directly impact the Return of a driver's license.
Preparation steps
The lawyer:
- prepared written explanations and legal justification for the police and the court;
- supported procedural actions and shaped the defense position;
- checked applicable rules and time-limit requirements in similar proceedings.
How the process went
The court consideration lasted about one year. During this time, the driver’s document was held, and the client waited for the final decision. It was important not to lose time once the seizure period ended and to act immediately when legal grounds for the Return of a driver's license became available.
Challenges
The key challenge was the long duration of the case and the fact that, by the time the court issued its decision, the actual seizure/restriction period was already close to ending. In such situations, details are decisive: how the period is calculated, from what date it runs, and when the client can request the Return of a driver's license.
What the lawyer did to close the case successfully
The lawyer:
- monitored procedural deadlines and ensured correct calculation;
- ensured proper application of rules on disqualification/restriction periods;
- promptly prepared post-decision actions so the client could secure the Return of a driver's license without delay.
Result
The court imposed a fine and a one-year disqualification; however, because the period had effectively already elapsed by the time the decision was issued, the client collected the driver’s document immediately after receiving the court decision—achieving the Return of a driver's license without additional waiting.
