Understanding fraud allegations
Section 380 addresses fraud involving deceit, falsehood, or other fraudulent means. The legal analysis includes dishonest conduct and deprivation or risk of deprivation. A disagreement over a transaction does not, by itself, answer whether the criminal requirements are established.
Preparing your fraud defence consultation
Use the documents for your own matter to guide the discussion. Depending on the circumstances, Karandeep can review:
- The specific representation or conduct said to be dishonest
- Contracts, account records, emails, and transaction timelines
- The alleged knowledge, intention, loss, or risk of loss
- How the accused is linked to the activity and whether records are complete
What to do before you contact us
Preserve original account statements, contracts, and communications. Keep a clear record of relevant dates without altering source documents. Seek advice before responding to investigative questions or signing any proposed repayment agreement.
Preparing for the next stage of a Newmarket matter
Tell us whether your Newmarket enquiry concerns a new charge or a case already underway. Keep correspondence, disclosure notices, and the most recent appearance document together. This helps distinguish work already completed from questions that still need a lawyer’s attention.
Keep your consultation date and court date as separate calendar entries, with the attendance instructions for each. Ask what you need to do personally and what the firm would handle if retained. Consultation arrangements are confirmed through Brampton; submitting the form does not arrange court attendance.
Preparing for an appearance at Newmarket Courthouse
Newmarket Courthouse is listed at 50 Eagle Street West. Its official page provides court and duty counsel contacts. If Newmarket is the court named in your case, use those details to resolve administrative questions and discuss legal questions with Karandeep Sahi.
Follow the instructions for your particular proceeding. A published video link does not mean you may attend remotely when an in-person appearance is required. If the location or attendance method is unclear, confirm it with your lawyer or the court.
Questions about fraud defence in Newmarket
Does an unpaid debt automatically amount to fraud?
No. A payment dispute and a criminal fraud allegation are different matters. The Crown must prove the required criminal elements; the transaction and evidence need individual review.
