Charges of Domestic Assault x 2 withdrawn, Toronto. D.N. was enjoying a bbq in his backyard with friends, when his former girlfriend and another lady walked into his backyard and started yelling at D.N. It appeared that the two complainants were drunk. D.N. was pushed and slapped. D.N. pushed the complainants away from him and then pushed them to the front of the house to leave. D.N. called police. Unbelievably when the police eventually interviewed everyone, the police charged D.N. with two counts of assault. Joseph Neuberger, Neuberger & Partners LLP, Toronto Criminal Lawyers, was retained as his criminal defence lawyer. Joseph Neuberger wrote to the Crown a very lengthy letter explaining that D.N. had the lawful right to repel an assault and to forcibly remove trespassers from his property so long as the force was reasonable. Joseph Neuberger also obtained video surveillance from the house showing the actual altercation. This was disclosed to the Crown. The charges were withdrawn.
