Protecting drivers’ rights in court: attorney Vitalii Petryk

In this article we review a court decision in a case under Art. 130 of the Code of Administrative Offenses, in which attorney Vitalii Petryk successfully defended a client accused of driving under the influence of alcohol.

Essence of the case:

A citizen of Moldova was stopped by police on suspicion of driving while intoxicated. He refused to take an alcohol test, so the police drew up a protocol under Part 1 of Art. 130.

The attorney’s position:

Attorney Vitalii Petryk studied the case materials and established that when drawing up the protocol the police did not engage an interpreter, although the driver did not speak Ukrainian. This significantly violated his right to defense, as he could not understand the essence of the charge or his rights.

Court decision:

The court agreed with the attorney’s arguments and ruled to close the case due to the absence of an administrative offense.

The importance of legal assistance:
