AN APPEAL due to be heard today (Jan 10) at Swansea Crown Court has been adjourned, leaving the appellant and those involved waiting for a new date.

Niall Taylor, from Haven Drive, Milford Haven, was challenging his conviction for driving without insurance and driving otherwise than in accordance with a licence. The appeal was set to address whether Taylor, whose driving licence had lapsed due to an administrative oversight, remained insured under the terms of his policy.

However, Swansea Crown Court has confirmed that the hearing has been postponed until April due to a lack of available judges to hear the case.

Taylor was originally convicted at Haverfordwest Magistrates’ Court in September 2023. He argues that his insurance policy covered him as a driver entitled to hold a licence despite the lapse in renewal. The delay means his legal battle will now continue into the spring.

Further updates will be provided as the case progresses.
