The Queen v. B.(R.) 2015 #1
Client was charged with possessing three different substances all for the purposes of trafficking. A prior record for the same offence meant that the client would face a mandatory one year jail sentence if convicted. Mr. van der Walle provided the prosecutor with his Constitutional argument two months before the trial. It was the defense’s position that the client’s purse had been illegally searched. The prosecutor agreed and stayed the proceedings (effectively killing the case) about one week before the trial.
