Charges of Assault, Assault with a Weapon and Assault Causing Bodily Harm were withdrawn by way of a common law peace bond at the Ontario Court of Justice located at Brampton. It was alleged that LSM along with two other co-accused(s) arrived outside the Complainant’s residence and started an argument. The argument was allegedly over money the Complainant owed LSM and the co-accused(s). The argument escalated and Complainant alleged that he was punched several times and as a result, dislocated his shoulder. A friend of the Complainant also alleged that he tried to intervene in the altercation and was hit with a wooden object kept on the floor by LSM. LSM was charged with Assault, Assault with a Weapon and Assault Causing Bodily Harm. Several pictures of the injuries and medical reports of the Complainant were provided in the disclosure. Yuvika Johri of Neuberger & Partners, Toronto Criminal Lawyers, was retained to represent LSM against the charges. Yuvika reviewed disclosure and conducted several meetings with Counsels for the co-accused(s). At the Crown Pre-Trial, Yuvika showed weaknesses in the Crown’s case and was able to convince the crown to withdraw all charges against LSM. A withdrawal was necessary in this case as LSM was an international student from India and a conviction would impact his immigration status. All charges were withdrawn by way of a common law peace bond against LSM.
