A Little About Us

Ahmad Karzai successfully defends appeals, including the appeal by the crown regarding the dismissal of charges against Claudia Flores.

Here is an overview:

• The judge decided that the respondent’s s. 8 rights were violated by a warrantless search of the house.
• The judge also decided that the Charter breach was sufficiently connected to the respondent’s subsequent discovery and provision of breath samples. After conducting an assessment under s.24(2) of the Charter, the trial judge excluded the breath readings and the respondent was acquitted

Ahmad Karzai has an impaired driving case withdrawn with no charges towards the defendant. Drugs seizure charges were withdrawn after showing that:

• The initial stop of the defendant was an unreasonable search and seizure due to arbitrary/illegal sobriety check stop by the police 
• As a result the contents of a backpack located in the passenger seat were not admissible 

Rather than having to go trial, the crown withdrew the charges,
