Criminal charges of Assault, Assault causing bodily harm and Assault with a weapon withdrawn. S.K. was alleged to have attended the home of the complainants with two other people. During an argument, S.K. and his co-accused were alleged to have started a physical altercation and then grabbed broken chair leg and assaulted the complainants. S.K. was in Canada on a student visa. Any conviction would have immediately lead to his inadmissibility to Canada and lead to his deportation. S.K. hired Christopher Assie. A careful review of the evidence revealed that the allegations of who started the physical altercation and who introduced a weapon during the altercation revealed that it was not cut and dry. Through discussions with the Crown, counsel was able to convince them to withdraw the charges in exchange for S.K. entering into a peace bond and completing some anger management counselling. All charges withdrawn and S.K. was permitted to remain in the country.
