Should I contact a solicitor to claim for compensation?

I have received a letter from CPS informing me that the reliability of the evidence used against me in relation to a drug driving offence has now been called into question. I was very slightly over the allowed limit for THC. As the toxicology evidence has now been deemed unreliable, surely I can quite confidently claim compensation or possibly receive an out of court settlement for loss of earnings and other consequences I've faced. I had to give up my job as a delivery driver. I was earning good money, and my manager would give evidence that I was one of his top drivers. This was also during nationwide lockdowns (ban started 1st June 2020) when I was a key worker, and could not easily find alternative work.

Am I best to find a good solicitor in this situation?

I'm still waiting for the SARs at the moment.

When ready, would the next step be to issue a claim form? Or send another email or letter to the insurer or to SynLab to offer ADR again prior to court action?


I would wait for SAR as you would have more information, something you may not be aware.

You have 6 years to raise a court claim.

Not uncommen it would appear, men have been unjustly sent to prison for rape on the strengh of DNA testing at these private forensic labs.

I've received the SAR from the police. It is very lengthy... Over 70 pages. So too long to post publicly. And without extensive editing, it has tons of personal data of mine.

I've only skim read it at the moment, but have seen several things which are incorrect, and some which maybe support my claim, although I'm not knowledgeable to say if they are actually legally relevant or useful.

I'm going to seek advice in private at the moment due to the length but will update here with relevant stuff and welcome any other advice.
