Mr. Shapray and Ms. Sandhu successfully represented a client who was charged with sexual assault occurring over many years in a business in Port Coquitlam. Using a strategic approach to defending the client based on current legal issues, Mr. Shapray and Ms. Sandhu brought pre-trial applications seeking access to counselling records and a personal journal. These steps led to a second adjournment of the case in the middle of the cross-examination of the complainant to continue the application for the journal based on the cross-examination. Crown counsel recognized some significant issues being faced including the right of the client to be tried within a reasonable time under the Charter and offered to resolve the case with a peace bond. – NOT GUILTY
