A client of criminal lawyer Luc Simard had been charged with assault (Section 266 Criminal Code of Canada), threats (Section 264.1 Criminal Code) and criminal harassment (Section 264 Criminal Code). This client was a foreigner dwelling outside the country. He pleaded not guilty to his charges.
On the day of the trial, the plaintiff did not appear in Court. Therefore, the Prosecutor asked that the case be postponed to a later date. Mr. Simard objected to this application for a postponement. This case had already been postponed in the past, and it would have been difficult for the client to return to Canada to be tried. The Judge rejected the application for a postponement, and Mr. Simard’s client was acquitted, because of lack of evidence.
Not all clients of criminal lawyer Luc Simard are acquited. See notice.
