Criminal Defence Representation Across Alberta
Administration of Justice allegations often move quickly and can affect release, detention, and how the court assesses risk. Early legal intervention can help address urgent hearings, clarify what is actually alleged, and challenge the interpretation of conditions where the evidence does not support the charge.
Understanding Administration of Justice Offences
Administration of Justice offences typically involve allegations that an individual failed to follow a court order or legal obligation. Common provisions arise under section 145 of the Criminal Code of Canada, which addresses failures to comply with court orders, appearances, or conditions.
These allegations may relate to release conditions, probation terms, attendance requirements, or contact restrictions. In many cases, the underlying facts are nuanced and require careful legal analysis rather than assumption of wrongdoing.
