In Calgary, domestic assault charges are handled by specialized prosecutors who only deal with domestic violence matters. Complainants recanting or indicating an unwillingness to proceed is a very common occurrence and the Crown view such occurrences with a critical eye.

In some cases, it is questionable whether or not the complainant truly wants to recant. The accused, family and/or friends may have utilized control tactics or threats to insist on the request. These are tactics that the Crown Prosecutor’s office is well aware of and as a result, rarely withdraw charges in such a situation.

While the Crown is very hesitant to withdraw domestic assault charges, they are, in certain circumstances, open to withdrawing the charges if the accused enters into a Peace Bond.
