Caution: This Canadian legal encyclopedia contains clearly written statements of Canadian legal principle based on common law and legislation regarding Criminal Law and other areas of law in Canada . But, legal information is not the same as legal advice (which involves applying laws, about Criminal Law and other topics, to particular individuals and organizations and their particular circumstances). It is always a good idea to consult with an attorney to obtain advice as to how the law (in relation to Criminal Law and other legal subjects) should be interpreted in light of the particularities of your situation. Also, you should be aware that legal aspects impacting Criminal Law may change over time and, as such the information contained in this Canadian legal encyclopedia may become out of date.
