Common questions

I have been summoned to give a statement. Must I bring a lawyer?

It is not mandatory, but you have the right to counsel and your statement stays in the file. It is advisable to speak to a lawyer before you go.

Is there a deadline for filing a complaint?

For offences prosecuted on complaint, you must file within six months of learning of the act and the person who did it.

This page gives general information. Deadlines and conditions depend on the facts and on changes in the law.
