Published cases:

​

In R v JW, 2020 ABQB 701 (CanLII), Gennadiy successfully represented the Crown whereas the Accused's application to have evidence regarding other sexual activity allegedly engaged in by the Complainant under s. 278.93 CC did not pass the "capable of being admissible" test at s. 278.94 CC hearing. This experience allowed Gennadiy to subsequently work on multiple sexual assault cases as the Crown. You can benefit from Gennadiy's knowledge and skills for your defense as having seen how defense arguments were ruled upon by the Court, and having had to reply to them as the Crown, Gennadiy can effectively structure your defense in sexual assault cases. 

​

In the criminal matter of R v Ledebur, 2021 SKPC 58 (CanLII), Gennadiy successfully represented the Crown in regards to the mandatory minimum penalty where the Accused's arguments regarding reduced moral culpability and alleged discrimination did not invalidate mandatory penalty. This experience allows Gennadiy to craft arguments at sentencing hearings of his Clients who face mandatory minimum penalties. Having learned from highly skilled prosecutors, judges and defense lawyers while pursuing his interest in comparing and contrasting the arguments of Crown and Defense, Gennadiy can put his knowledge and skills to use in your criminal case.  

​

Gennadiy successfully represented the Crown in R v J.T., 2022 SKKB 272 (CanLII), where the reviewing Court found no jurisdictional error in the preliminary inquiry judge's decision to admit complainant's statement under s. 540(7) CC without cross-examination of the complainant under s. 540(9) of the Criminal Code. This experience allows Gennadiy to successfully represent his Clients with motions to quash committal to stand trial after a preliminary inquiry.

 

In R v A.I.Z. 2023 SKKB 76 (CanLII), Gennadiy appeared for the Crown where the Court admitted a video statement from a child complainant under s. 715.1 CC finding the statutory requirements were met and, despite delays, there was no interference with the justice. This experience allows Gennadiy to effectively represent Clients where video-recorded statements of under-age complainants of the alleged sexual touching are involved.  ​​​​
