Guide for Defendants in Provincial Offences Cases

The Ontario Court of Justice Guide provides general information about the court process for provincial offences cases. It does not cover every circumstance that might arise in your case.

The Guide does not provide legal advice. You are strongly urged to get legal advice from a lawyer or paralegal about your options and the possible penalties you could face.
