R v. Sodyl, 2013 BCPC 213

Chris’ client was charged with possession of a controlled substance. We brought an application for exclusion of the evidence pursuant to Charter of Rights and Freedoms. The Court found that the stop of the vehicle was illegal, our client was not provided a timely right to counsel, and the grounds for the arrest were inadequate. As such, the search was deemed to be unreasonable. The evidence was excluded and the client was acquitted of the charges.

Randhawa v. Evans, 2020 BCCA 292

Review Reference #R0236326

We were granted leave to request a late review of a 2014 decision which provided our client’s total disability pension would terminate on his 70th birthday. The Review Division varied the Board’s decision and determined that benefits would be payable until age 75. The client received a $30,000 retroactive payment and three extra years of pension payments.
