What the Crown Must Prove

The Crown must prove every part of the charge, including:

  • Jurisdiction:

  • Time Limits:
    Some charges must be laid within certain time limits. If they are too late, the charges could be dismissed.

  • Every Element of the Offence:
    Each charge has specific legal requirements.
    If even one piece is missing, the case can fall apart.
