We are delighted to report our victory on behalf of a client who was accused of a serious aggravated assault in Downtown Vancouver that was the subject of much media attention. Our client was found not guilty of the offence after a full trial. In advancing our client’s interests, we also successfully argued in a pre-trial motion that our client’s rights were breached when the Vancouver Police Department obtained information from a database maintained by the BarWatch program without a warrant, which is the first time that this argument had ever been made.

Joven Narwal has again been invited to speak at Infonex’s Annual Professional Regulation and Discipline Conference. In its 23rd year, RegPRo is a marquee event and leading forum to address cutting edge issues facing professional discipline bodies, across the full spectrum of professions.
