A High Court ruling may result in a number of speeding summonses being thrown out.
It's concluded that a man accused of speeding should have been served with a photograph of the alleged incident prior to his case coming before the District Court.
The case revolves around Michael Gilvarry of Killala in Mayo who is alleged to have been driving at 93 kilometres an hour in an 80 zone in October 2011.
It was questioned whether there was evidence gardai had supplied him with a visual record – like a photograph of the alleged speeding offence - which is required by statute.
The case hasn't been finalised but there are a number of similar cases pending before the courts and the ruling could lead to them being dismissed.
