Police may drop some charges against Jodhi Meares, the ex-wife of billionaire James Packer, in her high range drink-driving case, a Sydney court has been told.

The 43-year-old fashion designer, who is engaged to musician Jon Stevens, crashed into three parked cars in Bellevue Hill, in Sydney's eastern suburbs, before rolling her Range Rover on June 21.

She allegedly recorded a blood alcohol reading of 0.181 in the accident.

Meares did not appear in Waverley Local Court today and was represented by her celebrity lawyer Chris Murphy.

Mr Murphy indicated police would be dropping two charges of driving with a suspended licence that had also been levelled against Ms Meares.

He did not enter a plea on the other charge of drink-driving.

Since her two-year marriage to Mr Packer ended in 2002, Meares has kept her private life out of the spotlight.

She was behind the successful swimwear brand Tigerlily, which she sold to surfwear company Billabong in 2007 for up to $5 million.

Meares has since founded the luxury sportswear brand The Upside which she runs from Surry Hills.

She is due to appear in Waverley Local Court on August 20.

Another example of corrupt cops in action.

One law for 'us' and another for 'them'. 

Flaunting in front of the masses.
