Understanding robbery allegations
Section 343 describes several forms of robbery, including theft connected with violence or threats, assault with intent to steal, and stealing while armed with an offensive weapon or imitation. The exact form alleged matters because the necessary proof is not identical in every case.
Preparing your robbery defence consultation
Use the documents for your own matter to guide the discussion. Depending on the circumstances, Karandeep can review:
- The reliability of identification, including lighting, timing, and observations
- Video, location evidence, communications, and the alleged sequence of events
- The connection between any property-taking and alleged violence or threat
- The alleged role of each person and any available defence
What to do before you contact us
Keep court and release paperwork and tell the office about any detention or hearing date. Preserve records relevant to your whereabouts. Avoid contacting witnesses or discussing the evidence publicly while seeking legal advice.
Keeping a Toronto court file organised
If you have more than one Toronto court file, record the charge, next date, and attendance instructions for each separately. Do not assume the files share a courtroom or will be dealt with together. Identify any related proceeding or existing lawyer when explaining the work you want Stratton Law to consider.
A court appointment in Toronto is separate from your consultation through the Brampton office. Before travelling, confirm the building and purpose of each appointment. At the consultation, ask who will handle communication, which appearances the proposed retainer includes, and how new paperwork should reach the lawyer.
Check the building and attendance instructions in Toronto
The Ontario Court of Justice lists a Toronto location at 10 Armoury Street. Match the building and courtroom to your own documents. A reference to “Toronto court” alone is not enough to plan an appearance, and a consultation with our firm is arranged through our Brampton office.
Toronto 10 Armoury Street court information
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 robbery defence in Toronto
Is every theft a robbery?
No. Robbery has additional requirements involving forms of violence, threats, assault, or an offensive weapon. The precise allegation must be compared with the statutory requirements.
