Summary Conviction Offences in Canada: Paralegal Representation
In Canada, summary conviction offences are the least serious type of criminal offence, generally carrying penalties of six months' imprisonment or less. Paralegals can legally represent you in these cases, acting as your agent in court.
​
However, some offences are hybrid, meaning they can be prosecuted as either summary or indictable offences. A paralegal can represent you if the offence is treated as a summary conviction. If it is prosecuted as an indictable offence, which is more serious, it falls outside a paralegal’s authorized practice.
​
Remember, paralegals are not lawyers but are qualified to handle certain legal matters, including summary conviction offences. It's important to seek advice from a licensed legal professional to ensure you have the appropriate representation.
