The Queen v. S.(M.) 2015
Client and girlfriend were charged with possession for the purpose of trafficking after the police executed a warrant at their house and found a significant amount of cocaine. Mr. van der Walle discovered some serious inconsistencies in the disclosure materials. Less than a week before the challenge to the warrant was set to begin, the prosecutor opted to stay the proceedings (effectively killing the case). No trial necessary. Client did not do a day in jail.
