(32 paras.)

¶ 1     MS MILLER:  The first is Damian K.

¶ 2     MR. PENNEY:  Yes. Good morning, Your Honour. Penney, initial "C."

¶ 3     THE COURT:  Can I see the information, please?

¶ 4     MR. PENNEY:  I'll appear on the Designation for the moment, Your Honour, but Mr. K. is outside the body of the Court — in fact, watching my briefcase.

¶ 5     THE COURT:  Okay.

¶ 6     MR. PENNEY:  My friend has advised me that we are the youngest matter, so essentially we are last on the list. We did set a very quick trial date — I think it is within six weeks of the set date, so ...

¶ 7     THE COURT:  No problem, no problem.

¶ 8     MR. PENNEY:  ... we're ready and ...

¶ 9     THE COURT:  So ready to go if it can't be resolved, yes.

¶ 10     MR. PENNEY:  We're ready to go if it can't be resolved, yes.

¶ 11     THE COURT:   Okay, no problem.

¶ 12     MS MILLER:  I haven't seen the complainant yet...

¶ 13     THE COURT:  That's fine.

¶ 14     MS MILLER:  ... so, as soon as I have a moment to speak with her, I will know where we are going with that.

¶ 15     THE COURT:   No problem.

[REPORTER'S NOTE:  Other matters are dealt with at this time.]

¶ 16     THE COURT:  Where are we?

¶ 17     MS MILLER:  Your Honour, if we could deal first with the Damian K. matter.

¶ 18     MR. PENNEY:  Mr. K., would you come forward, please. Good morning again, Your Honour. Penney, initial "C", for the record, P-E-N-N-E-Y.

¶ 19     THE COURT:  What is it that you wish to do?

¶ 20     MS MILLER:  This is to be resolved by way of a common-law peace bond.

¶ 21     THE COURT:  Thank you. What are the conditions?

¶ 22     MS MILLER:  A period of six months, five hundred dollar recognizance, no deposit, no surety, with the condition to keep the peace and be of good behaviour, and not to possess any weapons.

¶ 23     THE COURT:  Okay, thank you. Take a seat, sir. Once these are signed, you are free to go.

[REPORTER'S NOTE:  Other matters are dealt with at this time.]

¶ 24     THE COURT:  Is the order finished? Is the peace bond done?

¶ 25     CLERK OF THE COURT:  Yes.

¶ 26     THE COURT:   Okay. I will sign it so he can get on his way.

¶ 27     MR. PENNEY:  I'll handle it — that's okay. Do you want to come forward, Mr. K. — just right here. Your Honour, the bond has been signed.

¶ 28     THE COURT:  Yes, thank you.

¶ 29     MR. PENNEY:  Ms Miller, the charge?

¶ 30     THE COURT:  The charge is withdrawn.

¶ 31     MS MILLER:  The charge may be withdrawn.

¶ 32     MR. PENNEY:  Thank you so much.
