The Criminal Law
The Criminal Code of Canada comprises numerous sections outlining behaviors deemed criminal, falling under federal legislation. The procedures for prosecuting Criminal Code matters can vary based on the alleged offense’s severity. Indictable offenses, the most serious, involve formal procedures, whereas summary offenses follow a more streamlined process. Hybrid offenses offer flexibility, allowing the Crown prosecutor to opt for either indictable proceedings or summary conviction proceedings.
Defence Strategy
Selecting the defence strategy that is best suited to fight your criminal charge depends upon, among other things, the type of charge, the strength or weakness of the available evidence, and the strength or weakness of testimony from likely witnesses. Of course, regardless of the type of charge, all defence strategies ultimately aim at impairing the ability of the prosecutor to prove all elements of the charge beyond a reasonable doubt.
