Types of Charges Related to Administration of Justice Offences

At Truscello Nair LLP, we have extensive experience defending clients against these serious charges in Toronto. Common administration of justice offences include:

• Fail to Appear: Failing to appear in court on a scheduled date as required by a court order or bail condition. This can lead to additional charges, fines, arrest warrants, and potentially more severe penalties, including imprisonment.
• Fail to Comply: Violating the conditions set out in a court order, such as bail conditions, probation terms, or restraining orders. This may result in new criminal charges, revocation of bail, and increased sentences for the original offence.
• Obstruct Police: Interfering with a police officer’s duties, which can include providing false information, resisting arrest, or preventing an officer from carrying out their work. This offence can lead to serious charges, fines, and imprisonment, as well as a criminal record that impacts future opportunities.
• Public Mischief: Making false reports to police or causing law enforcement to investigate a fabricated crime. This can result in charges that carry penalties such as fines, restitution to law enforcement for wasted resources, and possible imprisonment.
• Peace Bonds: Court orders requiring an individual to keep the peace and comply with specific conditions to avoid criminal charges. Violating a peace bond can lead to charges of breach of peace bond, which may result in fines and imprisonment, in addition to potential charges related to the original incident.
• Breach of Probation: Occurs when an individual fails to comply with the conditions set by a court during a probation period. Penalties can include extended probation, fines, or imprisonment, depending on the severity of the breach.
• Breach of Conditional Sentence Order: Involves violating the terms of a conditional sentence order, which allows an individual to serve their sentence in the community under specific conditions. Consequences can include being ordered to serve the remainder of the sentence in custody.

Each of these offences involves complex legal considerations and requires a strategic defence to navigate effectively. At Truscello Nair LLP, we are committed to helping you understand the implications of these charges and building a strong defence to protect your rights and future.

How An Experienced Criminal Lawyer Can Help

An experienced lawyer plays a crucial role in fighting administration of justice offences by leveraging their expertise and strategic approach to provide a robust defence. At Truscello Nair LLP, Carmelo Truscello and Maneesha Nair utilize their extensive knowledge and skills to challenge these charges effectively.

• Thorough Investigation: An experienced lawyer will meticulously investigate the circumstances surrounding the charges. This includes reviewing all relevant documents, such as court orders, police reports, and witness statements, to identify any discrepancies or procedural errors that could weaken the prosecution's case.
• Challenging Evidence: Skilled lawyers know how to scrutinize the evidence presented against you. They will question the reliability and validity of the evidence, including the conduct of law enforcement officers and the accuracy of witness testimonies. Any inconsistencies or rights violations can be used to challenge the charges.
• Negotiating with Prosecutors: Experienced lawyers often engage in negotiations with prosecutors to seek reduced charges or alternative resolutions. They can argue for leniency based on mitigating factors, such as a lack of criminal history, or demonstrate that the charges are not in the public interest.
• Presenting a Strong Defence: In court, an experienced lawyer will present a compelling defence by articulating legal arguments, cross-examining witnesses, and introducing evidence that supports your case. They can effectively argue for the dismissal of charges or acquittal based on the facts and legal principles.
• Providing Guidance and Support: Throughout the legal process, an experienced lawyer will offer crucial guidance and support, helping you understand your rights and the implications of each step. They will ensure you are well-informed and prepared, reducing the stress and uncertainty associated with facing criminal charges.
