A former RCMP officer who spent thousands of dollars at a Halifax spa to get rid of his “love handles” is warranted a complete refund, a Nova Scotia’s small claims court has ruled.

The former superintendent, Martin Anthony Marin, took Bodyworks Med Spa & Wellness Incorporated to court, aiming to recover the $3,622.50 he paid in November 2023 for six body-sculpting treatments that offered no “notable improvement” to the fat deposits on the sides of his abdomen, according to the Jan. 13 decision.
