Criminal law 2017 NSSC 102

R. v. Garnier

Crown did not prove on a balance of probabilities that Garnier knowingly and voluntarily contravened the substantive conditions of his recognizance; the mere laying of s.145(3) informations is not determinative under s.524(4)(b) and where the alleged indictable offence is essentially a breach of recognizance the court must apply s.524(4)(a); accordingly the recognizance was not revoked and the accused was released on existing bail conditions.

  • Bail revocation
  • Breach of recognizance
  • S.524 criminal code
  • S.145(3) criminal code
  • Standard of proof
  • Mens rea for breach
