Breach of Probation

 

Probation is an order by the court that allows you to serve your sentence in the community after you have been committed of a criminal offence. The Probation Order is pursuant to several conditions that you must adhere to for example no contact with a certain individual, a weapons prohibition to keep the peace and good behavior.

The Crown can proceed against you summarily or charge you with an indictable offence. A failure to comply with the probation order can lead to imprisonment of a term not exceeding four years.
