Charge of Domestic assault withdrawn prior to trial, at the Ontario Court of Justice, Toronto. By standers called police after an argument between a male and female became physical. The female was the male’s girlfriend. The girlfriend declined to give a statement to the police. However, the police charged M.K. based upon statements from witnesses. M.K. was in Canada on a student visa. Grace Condello of Neuberger & Partners LLP was retained to defend M.K. A criminal conviction would have impeded the renewal of the student visa. The complainant would not cooperate with the police or Crown. Ms. Condello was successful in negotiating with the Crown to resolve the case whereby the charge would be withdrawn. The Crown could not prove lack of consent, and how the physical altercation started. Thus, the charge was withdrawn and M.K. entered into a common law peace bond.
