My client slipped and fell on a pool deck at premises owned by the City of Calgary. The theory of liability is that my client slipped and fell on a defective painted depth marker. A depth marker is a sign painted onto the pool deck indicating the depth of the water at that location. According to my client, the painted area felt like “a sheet of ice,” rather than raised and coarse. Investigation showed that the depth markers were applied to the pool deck by the City of Calgary between 2006 and 2008 using a mixture of sand and paint.

My clients, aged 28 and 27, have been charged with theft under $5000, after police identified and arrested them near a supermarket in Guelph after they walked in, placed four cartons filled with bricks of butter into a shopping cart and departed through an emergency exit, setting off the alarm. The four cases of butter are valued at more than $950. Police reports indicate that my clients were armed with knives at the time they were detained. According to the news, there have been reports of at least seven other large-scale butter thefts in the same community during the past 10 months.

| Develop a cross-examination strategy of a witness in the context of a case |
According to the following facts, develop a detailed cross-examination strategy of the complainant, focusing on challenging the complainant's credibility and the reliability of her testimony. This strategy could include potential questions and lines of inquiry that address inconsistencies, biases, or any other factors that could undermine the complainant's account: My client is accused of forcibly confining his ex-girlfriend, the complainant, of possessing weapons for a dangerous purpose and of criminally harassing his ex-girlfriend. The complainant claimed that my client threatened to kill himself with what looked like a real gun but turned out to be an airsoft gun when she refused to get back in a relationship with him. The complainant broke up with my client after uncovering his unfaithfulness and refused to talk to him since. According to her testimony, my client waited in his car for her to leave for work, followed her to her workplace and back to her home after she was done for several days a week. She finally agreed to get in his car on the condition that he would leave her alone if she let him apologize to her properly. She claims that he then locked her inside the car with him and threatened to kill himself if she kept refusing to forgive him. She expressed that she mistook the gun for a real one. The complainant is, like my client, an airsoft player who has been playing for several years. |
