R. vs. R.P. – Vancouver Provincial Court

Charge: Assault.

Issue: Given the extensive rehabilitation effort of our client, whether it was appropriate for the court to grant our client a conditional discharge.

Result: Mr. Mines was able to persuade the Court that provocation was a significant factor and that, despite kicking the complainant, the appropriate sentence was a discharge on condition of “no contact” for 12 months. No criminal conviction.
