CASE STUDY
Drug Offences

Client’s property confiscation order was reversed

Our client’s house was subjected to a confiscation and a restraining order due to previous drug charges. This would mean our client could not access thier house, and was worried the police might sell assets if a conviction occurred (police can seize an offender's assets if a house is under a confiscation order and they are convicted). We applied for an exclusion order to protect our client's assets. We succeeded in the exclusion order, and the restraining order was set aside.

Community Corrections Order for our client charged with cultivation of a commercial quantity of narcotic plants

Our client was charged with the cultivation of a commercial quantity of narcotic plants and trafficking a commercial quantity of cannabis and other drugs. For our client's defence, we presented his medical records, which revealed his significant health issues and personal circumstances. Our client avoided imprisonment and was handed a Community Corrections Order, which is an excellent outcome considering our client initially faced a 25-year term of imprisonment as a maximum penalty.
