The following excerpt is from R. v. Thur, 2019 ONSC 528 (CanLII):
In the 1982 case of R v. Zabor, [1982] OJ No. 186 (CA) from our Court of Appeal, the offender forged a will and filed a false affidavit contending that the will was genuine. The appeal court agreed in principle with a 2 year sentence but reduced it to a suspended sentence because of the offender’s health issues including terminal cancer that would have been difficult to treat in prison.
