(50 paras.)

¶ 1     THE COURT:  The K. matter is a Peace Bond?

¶ 2     MS. PENNEY:  Yes, Your Honour. That's — we had a judicial pre-trial on the last date with Ms Boyd.

¶ 3     THE COURT:  Is it — where is K.?

¶ 4     MR. PENNEY:  Mr. K., come forward, please. The bond is sworn.

¶ 5     THE COURT:  Just a second...

¶ 6     MR. PENNEY:  I checked it already, Your Honour. 

¶ 7     THE COURT:  I'm sure you did.

¶ 8     MR. PENNEY:  Sorry, sorry. 

¶ 8     MR. LEISHMAN:  Is this a brief from the nine o'clock list?

¶ 9     MR. PENNEY:  Ten o'clock list, 53 to 56

¶ 10     MR. LEISHMAN:  What's the last name?

¶ 11     MR. PENNEY:  K., K-*-*-*-*

¶ 12     COURT REPORTER:  And your name, sir?

¶ 13     MR. PENNEY:  My name is Penney P-E-N-N-E-Y, initial C., Mr. K. is before the Court right here. If we can, Your Honour, we'll waive the arraignment —

¶ 14     THE COURT:  Okay, just a second, hold on.

¶ 15     MR. PENNEY:  And we'll...

¶ 16     THE COURT:  Is that with a C or a K?

¶ 17     MR. LEISHMAN:  Could I — could I just have a moment before we go any further?

¶ 18     THE COURT:  There it is. This is K. starting at 53, the bond is at 56. May I see the Bond please?

¶ 19     MR. PENNEY:  It's within time, Your Honour.

¶ 20     THE COURT:  Okay. It was sworn October 11th. Okay? Okay Mr. Leishman?

¶ 21     MR. LEISHMAN:  Yes.

¶ 22     THE COURT:  Alright, usual terms? Is there any need for contact, Mr. Penney?

¶ 23     MR. PENNEY:  None, Your Honour. I'm waiving the reading of the election. He...

¶ 24     THE COURT:  Okay.

¶ 25     MR. PENNEY:  ...doesn't wish to show cause. We're admitting, Your Honour, that there's reasonable grounds for you to make the Order.

¶ 26     THE COURT:  Okay.

¶ 27     MR. LEISHMAN:  ...Twelve months...

¶ 28     THE COURT:  Thank you. Five hundred dollars, twelve months without surety or deposit, keep the peace, be of good behaviour, no contact with Colin U. Is that it?

¶ 29     MR. PENNEY:  Yes. The person named in the Information.

¶ 30     MR. LEISHMAN:  Is there to be a no weapons condition? This is a matter that was pre-tried before Your Honour back in September with my colleague, Ms Boyd, and I'm just trying to determine whether that was considered.

¶ 31     MR. PENNEY:  We didn't specifically discuss that, Your Honour, these...

¶ 32     THE COURT:  Well.

¶ 33     MR. PENNEY:  I have no — I have no objection.

¶ 34     MR. LEISHMAN:  Yeah, there was allegedly a knife involved.

¶ 35     THE COURT:  Okay. Possess no weapons. Okay, once that is — was there a trial date set, counsel?

¶ 36     MR. PENNEY:  No, Your Honour.

¶ 37     THE COURT:  Okay, once the bond is signed, I guess the Crown's asking the charge be withdrawn?

¶ 38     MR. LEISHMAN:  Well, I should say for the record, Your Honour knows this having pre-tried it, this is not a matter that normally is resolved by way of an 810 but there was particular circumstances that Ms Boyd was allotted to...

¶ 39     MR. PENNEY:  Yes.

¶ 40     THE COURT:  Okay

¶ 41     MR. LEISHMAN:  ...and the matter was looked at carefully.

¶ 42     MR. PENNEY:  Well, Your...

¶ 43     THE COURT:  Okay. Fair enough. And I'm sure Mr. K. never wants to come back before the Court again.

¶ 44     MR. PENNEY:  Yes. I'd — I'd ask my friend, since we're close to shutting down, just to withdraw the charges. The Bond is ordered, if he doesn't sign it, Your Honour can —

¶ 45     THE COURT:  Yeah. I was just about to say, once it's signed, is it okay for the Clerk to withdraw, Mr. Leishman?

¶ 45     MR. LEISHMAN:  That's correct, yes.

¶ 46     THE COURT:  Okay, done.

¶ 47     MR. PENNEY:  And I'm giving Mr. Leishman back two DVD's and the two audio tapes pursuant to my undertaking.

¶ 48     MR. PENNEY:  Yes.

¶ 49     MR. LEISHMAN:  Thank you.

¶ 50     MR. PENNEY:  Thank you.
