Charges of criminal harassment with drawn. Client was alleged with stalking his neighbour. The client vehemently denied the behaviour described by the complainant. The client hired Christopher Assie as his defence lawyer at Neuberger & Partners LLP. Given the unreasonableness of the complainant in this case and the fact that they were neighbours, counsel suggested that even if the Crown offered a peace bond, that this is one of those rare instances where the accused should not consider agreeing. By entering into a peace bond, it would provide the complainant with an ability to have the client charged with breaching the peace bond upon a flimsy pretext. After multiple Crown pre-trials and judicial pre-trials, the Crown finally agreed that the matter was not in the public interest to pursue. The charges were withdrawn. Client did not have to enter into a peace bond.
