4. Failure To Appear in Court

5. Alcohol or Weapons

Who decides?

Ultimately, the Crown Attorney decides. The reporting agency, the courts, or the police will be involved in reporting the details of the breach. They submit it to the Crown Attorney.

What happens when you are charged with breach of probation?

The Crown can proceed against you for the breach in one of three ways:

1. a summary offence: your case will not involve a jury

2. charge you with an indictable offence: in most cases your case will involve a jury

3. withdraw the charge for lack of evidence

If found guilty with a “breach of probation” by way of summary offence/conviction

If the individual is found guilty of breach of probation:

There is potential jail time for no longer than 18 months, and a possible fine up to $2000.00, or potentially both.

If found guilty with a “breach of probation” on a indictable offence

If the Crown charged you with an indictable offence, you will face a trial by jury. You can be imprisoned for up to two years.
