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.
Identify the immediate issue in your Vaughan matter
Start your Vaughan enquiry with the issue that needs attention first: someone may be detained, a date may be approaching, or you may need to understand a restriction. Have the relevant document available rather than relying on a summary of what you remember being told.
Use the court named on your own paperwork when checking attendance details; residence in Vaughan alone does not identify the hearing location. Tell the office which arrangements affect work, housing, or transport, and ask what must be confirmed before making plans to attend a consultation in Brampton.
Confirm the court location for your Vaughan enquiry
If your paperwork names Newmarket Courthouse, its listed address is 50 Eagle Street West. Use the court’s own contact page to check the relevant office; living in Vaughan does not, by itself, establish where your proceeding will be heard.
Newmarket court information if it matches your paperwork
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.

Is every theft a robbery?
