Criminal lawyer Xavier Cormier defended a client who risked losing his right to own firearms. The firearms officer had submitted an application for an order prohibiting this person from possessing any firearms by virtue of Section 111 (1) of the Criminal Code of Canada.
The Crown Prosecutor had some witnesses testify and submitted documentary evidence that was meant to prove that it would not be desirable for anyone’s safety that the client should be authorized to have firearms in his possession. Mr. Cormier cross-examined the Prosecutor’s witnesses, and then presented the case for the defence.
The Judge rejected the application for the prohibiting order. The client therefore may recover his seized firearms and keep his firearm possession permit.
Criminal lawyer Cormier’s clients do not all receive decisions in their favour. See notice.
