Understanding uttering threats allegations
The Criminal Code addresses knowingly communicating certain threats, including threats of death or bodily harm, property damage, and harm to an animal belonging to another person. The specific words, meaning, and surrounding circumstances require close attention.
Preparing your uttering threats defence consultation
Use the documents for your own matter to guide the discussion. Depending on the circumstances, Karandeep can review:
- The complete conversation and how the words were conveyed
- Audio, messages, witness accounts, and attribution
- The context and required intent
- Whether the evidence establishes the particular offence charged
What to do before you contact us
Save the complete exchange without editing it. Avoid further communications that could breach release conditions. Bring the original wording of the allegation and your court paperwork to a consultation.
Confirm arrangements before travelling from Kitchener
Call before making travel plans from Kitchener. Identify the service you need, the court shown on your documents, and the next known date so the office can discuss availability. Ask which records should be supplied beforehand and how to provide them without putting sensitive material in the enquiry form.
Confirm how the consultation will take place before setting out for Brampton. Do not assume that the meeting format also determines how you attend court. Raise any language or accessibility question early and keep the court’s instructions with your paperwork for the appointment.
Planning a Kitchener court appearance
Kitchener Courthouse is listed at 85 Frederick Street. Its official page includes court contacts and links for accessibility information. If this is your court location, check the arrangements before travelling and tell our office about the upcoming date when requesting a consultation.
Kitchener courthouse and accessibility 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.
