My partner was stopped by police in December 2009, wasn't able to provide a breath test due to asthma, and was taken to a nearby police station to provide a blood sample. At the beginning of February 2010 he received a charge sheet, which doesn't show a reading for the blood sample, and instructs him to appear at the local magistrates court this week. The charge sheet states that there had been so much alcohol consumed that the driver was unfit to drive, but there is no reading stated.
My questions are:
Why was a charge sheet issued instead of a summons?
Why would there not be a reading stated on the charge sheet?
I'd be grateful if someone could enlighten me on these issues since my partner is up in court tomorrow and still hasn't arranged legal representation.
