Reasons For Judgement in Canada’s first “Modern” Prizefighting Prosecution

In my effort to create Camiseta TSG 1899 Hoffenheim a database of combat sports prosecutions Camiseta FC Tokyo pursuant to Canada’s Criminal Code, I have obtained the full transcript of the sentencing proceedings from Saskatchewan’s Ministry of Justice in the case of HMTQ v. Crowthers and Daku.

By way of backgound, Patrick Crowthers and Derek Daku of Saskatchewan’s Prestige fight Club have the dubious honour of being the first to be successfully prosecuted for hosting an illegal ‘prizefight’ considering that section 83 of Canada’s Criminal Code was overhauled by bill S-209.  In short both parties plead guilty to the offence and joint submissions (ie a plea bargain) were made which the Court accepted.  The court’s sentence was a conditional discharge.

For those interested judge Kovatch’s reasons can be found here: HMTQ v. Crowthers and Daku

For any individual interested I am delighted to supply a copy of the full certified transcript which includes submissions from Camiseta Arsenal FC counsel.
