Charges of domestic assault, and assault by choking were withdrawn prior to setting a trial date, Toronto. The complainant, the client’s daughter, alleged that the client had hit and choked her as a result of an argument over house work. Mr. Liam Thompson of Neuberger & Partners LLP was retained to defend the case. Liam met with the client for several hours going through the history of issues with the daughter including gathering source documents from school as to defiant behavior in and outside of the home. G.L. had not in fact touched the complainant but was attempting to enforce house rules that the complainant did not want to follow. The complainant suffered no injuries and the police notes specifically stated that there were no visible injuries to the complainant including on or about her neck. Liam Thompson presented the Crown with a memo regarding a break down of the complainant’s statement showing implausibility of the allegations along with some source material to show the complainant most likely made false accusations to avoid discipline. After detailed discussions with the Crown, Liam was able to demonstrate that the Crown did not have a reasonable prospect of conviction and that a continued prosecution of the matter was not in the public interest. The charges of assault and assault choking were withdrawn at the request of the Crown.
