More often than not, charges for resisting arrest and obstruction
of a peace officer are grouped together to place an individual in
jeopardy of two
criminal convictions for a single act.
As reported in the written decision
of the Law Society Hearing Panel (which decision is under appeal by the applicant), the applicant threatened to sue the other board members for defamation after he was removed as President
of the condo corporation and a notice
of his removal was posted; circulated a letter (under a false name) on some floors within the building that falsely stated that some
of the board members had previously gone bankrupt, had
criminal convictions and were accepting bribes and free meals from the developer
of the condominium to settle deficiencies with the developer; made a derogatory remark about some
of the residents based on their ethnicity; threatened to report some
of the directors to US / Canada border officials, falsely alleging that they were drug smugglers; threatened both the corporation's property manager and security services firm that their contracts with the condo corporation would be in
jeopardy if they did not provide a character letter to the applicant.
