R. vs. P.A.N. – West Vancouver Police Investigation

Charge: Fraud (from employer).

Issue: Given our client’s cooperation with authorities and willingness to repay the alleged misappropriated funds, whether it was in the public interest to proceed with criminal charges.

Result: Mr. Gauthier was able to persuade the police investigator to refer the file to Restorative Justice rather than arresting our client and recommending a criminal prosecution. No charge was approved. No criminal record.
