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.
Preparing a consultation from Mississauga
Separate the place where you live, the place of the alleged incident, and the court listed on your documents. A Mississauga address does not settle which building you must attend. Keep the court notice beside your consultation questions so the two appointments can be planned separately.
If you are coming to the Mayfield Road office, confirm the appointment before travelling from Mississauga. Tell us whether work hours, a driving restriction, or family responsibilities affect your availability. Ask what can be discussed at the first meeting and how any remaining documents should be provided.
Check the court named on your Mississauga paperwork
If your documents name the Brampton courthouse, its listed address is 7755 Hurontario Street in Brampton. Your consultation at our Mayfield Road office and your court appearance are separate appointments.
Official Brampton 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.

Does a threat have to be spoken face to face?
No. The provision can apply to threats communicated in different ways, including electronic messages. The precise evidence and legal requirements still need to be assessed.
