Charge of Fail to Comply with Probation against Z.K. withdrawn in the Ontario Court of Justice, Newmarket.   Z.K. was charged with failing to comply with his probation order which prohibited him from having contact with his spouse except with her written revokable consent.  The underlying charge to the probation order was a serious domestic assault charge which had several terms limiting the type of contact Z.K. could have with his spouse as well as his children.  Additionally, Z.K. had previously had a sexual assault charge also involving his spouse withdrawn by the Crown.  Given the serious history, the Crown was originally seeking a custodial sentence for the new breach.  As a result, the matter was set down for trial. Prior to trial, Michael Bury spent considerable time engaged with the assigned Crown explaining that it was not in the public interest to prosecute the case as both parties wanted to reconcile.  After lengthy discussions leading up to and including the day of trial, Michael Bury persuaded the Crown to withdraw the charges.
