The Allegation

Defence Advocacy

Paul E. Briggs negotiated arrangements that allowed the client to address the warrant in a Provincial Court near the client’s work location and obtain release on conditions without unnecessary delay.

​

He then made detailed legal submissions challenging the strength and reliability of the prosecution’s case. The submissions addressed significant weaknesses in the evidence and whether the allegations could be proven beyond a reasonable doubt.

​

The Result

Paul E. Briggs persuaded the prosecution to resolve the matter through a section 810 peace bond. The criminal charges did not proceed, and the client did not receive a criminal record as a result of the case.
