Charges of Domestic Assault x 2 withdrawn prior to setting a trial date. JC and the Complainant were celebrating new years eve at JC’s residence when an argument started between the two. According to JC, the Complainant spoke ill of his sister due to which JC asked the Complainant to leave. The Complainant attempted to leave with an expensive bottle of vodka due to which the argument heated further, and JC called 911 to remove the Complainant from his residence. Upon police’s arrival, the Complainant alleged that JC punched him three times on his face. JC was arrested and taken to the police station. Yuvika Johri of Neuberger & Partners LLP, Criminal Lawyers Toronto, was retained by JC to represent him against the charges. Yuvika reviewed the disclosure and convinced the crown to resolve this matter by way of a peace bond as the Complainant had mislead JC into having unprotected sex with him without disclosing that he was HIV positive. Yuvika reasoned that the Complainant should have been charged with aggravated assault instead. The assault charge against JC was withdrawn, and client entered a peace bond.
