Being charged with any type of criminal assault is a traumatic and challenging experience. In Toronto and across Ontario, those charged with domestic assault or intimate partner violence under section 266 of the Criminal Code face additional difficulties. Bail restrictions imposed on accused individuals for these crimes can prevent contact with their spouse or domestic partner while the criminal case slowly navigates the justice system. A guilty verdict for domestic assault can lead to severe consequences and stringent probation conditions.
The definition of assault is found in section 265 of the Criminal Code. Generally, an assault occurs when a person intentionally applies direct or indirect force to another person without their consent. An assault can also occur when a person attempts or threatens to apply force, either directly or indirectly. Additionally, a person can be convicted of assault if they accost or impede another person or beg while openly carrying a real or imitation weapon.
Harm is not a necessary element for an assault charge. An assault can occur even without the application of significant strength or power. The force used must be offensive or an affront to the individual's dignity. Even minimal contact, such as a push or pinch, can be sufficient to establish a criminal assault.
Any intentional touching can constitute an intentional application of "force." Violent or forceful contact is not required for a conviction. Some cases are dismissed due to the minimal force used, such as minor contact during a domestic dispute or incidental physical contact during a disagreement with a parking control officer.
If you are charged with an assault or any related offence, contact Kumar for expert legal assistance.
Theft is a type of property offence encompassing various illegal acts, such as shoplifting or taking personal property from a friend, family member, stranger, or company without their consent. Most theft investigations are initiated by the victim who discovers the theft and reports it to the police. In many instances, the alleged thief may be present at the scene, as is often the case with shoplifting. If the perpetrator is not present, the police will typically review security footage or other records to identify the offender.
Each theft case is unique, and several factors must be considered to determine the best defence strategy. Questions such as the value of the stolen item, whether it was a first offence, and if there were any unusual circumstances need to be addressed.
Potential defences might include the belief that the item in question was always yours. In some cases, returning the item or providing financial compensation to the victim may be sufficient to avoid a criminal record.
Navigating theft charges can be complex, but with the right legal guidance, it is possible to explore options that may lead to a favourable outcome. If you are facing a theft charge, contacting Kumar for expert legal advice and representation can make a significant difference in your case.
