Your Criminal Offence - Summary or Indictable?


Most people are familiar with the American distinction between "misdemeanors" and "felonies". The Canadian terminology is "summary" (less serious offences) and "indictable" (more serious offences).

If you are charged with a summary offence you can expect your trial to occur in the Ontario Court of Justice within six to nine months of your charge date. If you are charged with an indictable offence, the process is much longer. You are entitled to a preliminary hearing to determine if there is sufficient evidence to commit you for trial. If committed, your trial will then be held in the Ontario Superior Court with or without a jury. Depending on the geographical jurisdiction in which your trial is held, the indictable process can take up to two years to complete.

Whether you are charged with a summary or an indictable offence, your lawyer may be able to "short circuit" the process by having the charges withdrawn or diverted from the criminal process altogether.

David G. Bayliss believes that a strong democracy calls for a strong bar of competent defence lawyers prepared to strive for a fair trial for any client no matter what the charge. Up to date on the law and well versed in many different areas of the new, complex and punitive “conservative” Canadian criminal jurisprudence, David epitomizes the long democratic tradition of the fearless lawyer who has kept his quiver full of the arrows of modern courtroom warfare.

He has represented individuals charged with sexual offences, drug offences, violent crimes, theft, complex fraud, internet crimes as well as vague allegations of “criminal harassment”. If a client is in the position of being charged with murder or manslaughter, there are few among the criminal lawyers in Toronto capable of mounting a more effective defence. One need only take a glance at David’s courtroom history in the “cases” section of this site to know that, behind David’s claims, there are results.
