Pay-out of €1,000 as licence is delayed
A man whose driving licence was suspended for drink-driving has won €1,000 damages plus €50 per day of further delay after he had waited six months for a new one to be issued.

The Parisian hired an avocat and won a case in the tribunal administratif.
The lawyer said slow delivery of a new licence from the national ANTS agency meant his client had risked fines for driving without a licence, even though he was entitled to drive.
Peter Adams from Léran, Ariège, who – like many other readers – has been waiting for a French licence from Nantes prefecture, flagged this up.
In his case, the delay is (so far) four months. He said he is looking to sue too, especially as it is now possible to apply to the administrative courts without a lawyer via .
Like the Parisian, he lost his UK licence due to a (two-month) suspension and applied for a French licence but has not even received an acknowledgement.
