Conditional discharge granted for assault causing bodily harm where offender used excessive force in self-defence.
The offender pleaded guilty to assault causing bodily harm after stabbing a man during an altercation on a TTC streetcar.
The offender, who was subject to a peace bond prohibiting weapons, acted in self-defence but used excessive force.
The court considered the offender's 11 months of pre-sentence custody, his lack of a prior criminal record, and his career plans.
Finding that a discharge would not bring the administration of justice into disrepute, the court granted a conditional discharge with 36 months of probation.
Discovery plan settled; broad financial disclosure denied as disproportionate prior to examinations for discovery.
The plaintiff sued his former employer for wrongful dismissal, including a claim for a bonus and damages for emotional distress.
On a motion to settle a discovery plan, the plaintiff sought extensive financial records from the defendant to calculate his bonus entitlement.
The court found the request disproportionate at the pre-discovery stage and ordered the defendant to produce only its financial statements.
The court also ordered the plaintiff to produce his medical records, as he conceded they were relevant to his claim for emotional distress.
