Understanding theft allegations
Section 322 addresses taking or converting property fraudulently and without colour of right, with specified intentions. The allegation may arise from a store incident, workplace property, or another transaction. Ownership, authorization, identity, and intention can all be relevant.
Preparing your theft defence consultation
Use the documents for your own matter to guide the discussion. Depending on the circumstances, Karandeep can review:
- Whether the accused is reliably identified in video or witness evidence
- Receipts, transaction histories, permission, and ownership information
- Evidence of the intention alleged and any legally relevant claim of right
- The value of the property and the completeness of the disclosure
What to do before you contact us
Keep receipts, messages, and any paperwork you received. Do not assume that returning an item or paying a demand automatically ends the criminal case. Discuss proposed contact or payment with a lawyer, particularly where release conditions apply.
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 theft defence in Newmarket
Are theft and fraud the same charge?
No. They have different legal elements. Theft generally concerns taking or conversion, while fraud concerns dishonest conduct and deprivation. The evidence must be assessed against the offence actually charged.
