What is a Bail Hearing?

A bail hearing is a critical judicial process where a judge determines whether an individual should remain in custody or be released into the community while awaiting further criminal proceedings. Generally, a person has only one opportunity to secure bail, making experienced legal representation crucial to improving the likelihood of being released.

What Happens at a Bail Hearing?

Step 1 – Initial Process
Under the Criminal Code, you are entitled to a bail hearing within 24 hours of your arrest, if a judge is available, or as soon as possible otherwise. At the courthouse, you may be held in a cell or connected via video link. You’ll have the opportunity to consult with a lawyer or a duty counsel provided for the day to discuss your case.

Step 2 – Crown’s Presentation
The Crown (the prosecution/government authority conducting the criminal prosecutions) will present the charges and evidence against you, summarizing why you should not be released on bail. This may include reading out allegations, detailing the evidence, and possibly calling witnesses.
Your focus should be on presenting a robust bail plan that assures the court of your compliance with bail conditions, including where you will reside and under what supervision.

Step 3 – Defense Presentation
Your lawyer may call you or a potential surety to testify, demonstrating to the court that you will adhere to bail conditions, appear for your court dates, and not pose a safety risk to the public or re-offend.

Step 4 – Judge’s Decision
The judge will decide whether to grant bail based on the seriousness of the charges, your criminal history, and your bail plan. The decision will also consider the safety of any victims or witnesses. If released, you must strictly adhere to any imposed conditions to avoid subsequent arrest.
Conditions might include restrictions like house arrest. Failure at this stage means you will remain in custody until your trial unless a successful bail review (appeal) is conducted.

Common defense strategies include:

  1. Alibi: Providing evidence or witnesses to prove the accused was elsewhere when the crime occurred.
  2. Self-defense: Arguing the accused acted to protect themselves or others from harm.
  3. Mistaken identity: Asserting the accused was misidentified as the perpetrator.
  4. Lack of intent: Arguing the accused did not have the intention to commit the crime.
  5. Entrapment: Claiming law enforcement induced the accused to commit the crime.
  6. Insanity defense: Asserting the accused was not of sound mind at the time of the offense.
  7. Violation of rights: Seeking to suppress evidence obtained through unlawful means.

Each strategy depends on the specifics of the case and may vary in effectiveness. Our experienced defense attorney will determine the best approach based on the circumstances.

Yes, a criminal conviction can impact parental decision-making in Canada, particularly regarding a child’s education and healthcare. The court’s primary concern is the best interests of the child. If a parent’s criminal conviction suggests they may pose a risk to the child’s well-being or that their judgment may be impaired, the court may limit or restrict that parent’s decision-making authority. The severity of the conviction, the nature of the offense, and its relevance to the parent’s ability to make sound decisions for the child will all be considered.

In Canada, the court determines child custody based on the “best interests of the child” principle. Several factors are considered, including:

  • The child’s emotional ties to each parent and other family members.
  • The stability and permanence of the proposed living arrangements.
  • Each parent’s ability to care for the child and meet their needs.
  • The child’s wishes, depending on their age and maturity.
  • Any history of family violence or criminal behavior.
  • Each parent’s willingness to foster a positive relationship between the child and the other parent.

In Canada, there are several options available for resolving disputes during divorce or separation:

  • Negotiation: The parties can negotiate directly with each other, often with the assistance of their lawyers.
  • Mediation: A neutral third party, the mediator, helps the parties reach a mutually acceptable agreement.
  • Collaborative Law: Both parties, along with their lawyers, agree to resolve their issues cooperatively without going to court.
  • Arbitration: The parties agree to submit their dispute to an arbitrator, who makes a binding decision.
  • Court Litigation: If other methods fail, the parties can take their dispute to court, where a judge will make a final decision.

The duration of the immigration process can vary widely depending on the type of application, the applicant’s country of origin, and current processing times:

  • Canada: Immigration processing times can range from a few months to several years. For example, family sponsorship applications may take 12-24 months, while express entry applications can be processed within 6-12 months.
  • United States: U.S. immigration processing times also vary. Family-based immigration can take 12-24 months or longer, depending on the category and country of origin. Employment-based green card applications can take several months to years, depending on the applicant’s priority date and visa availability.
