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 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.

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.
