These offences are considered more serious than summary offences that can be heard in lower courts without the presence of a jury. In general, the majority of indictable offences are first heard for Mentions in the Magistrates&#8217; Court the same way as summary offences. Some indictable offences can be ultimately dealt with summarily in the Magistrates Court by choice while others cannot.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"wp-block-uagb-section uagb-section__wrap uagb-section__background-color uagb-block-7aae9fc8\"><div class=\"uagb-section__overlay\"><\/div><div class=\"uagb-section__inner-wrap\">\n<section class=\"wp-block-uagb-columns uagb-columns__wrap uagb-columns__background-none uagb-columns__stack-mobile uagb-columns__valign-center uagb-columns__gap-10 align uagb-block-b5dfde68 uagb-columns__columns-2 uagb-columns__max_width-theme\"><div class=\"uagb-columns__overlay\"><\/div><div class=\"uagb-columns__inner-wrap uagb-columns__columns-2\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-column uagb-column__wrap uagb-column__background-undefined uagb-block-a139b579\"><div class=\"uagb-column__overlay\"><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading sourcefont\" id=\"what-is-an-example-of-an-indictable-offence\"><strong>What Is an Example of an Indictable Offence?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Indictable offences are offences that are more serious in nature.

In some states in Australia, summary offences have a maximum penalty of two years imprisonment.

In this case, the accused individual is given the chance to choose not to have a trial by jury and be tried by a judge alone.<br><br>Having a matter dealt with summarily means the case will be resolved faster compared to if you have a jury trial. It might seem convenient, but unless you know the law, it\u2019s better to leave the decision to a lawyer. Legal advice from a lawyer well-versed in court presentation (usually in the higher court) is most valuable and can give you the best outcome.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"swiper-slide wp-block-eedee-block-gutenslide is-position-center-center ed-bg-none\" style=\"--slide-min-width:80%;\" data-hash=\"\"><div class=\"eedee-background-div no-media-background\"><div class=\"eedee-background-div__overlay\" style=\"opacity:1;\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"slide-content\">\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-info-box uagb-block-eb7adf1c uagb-infobox__content-wrap  uagb-infobox-icon-above-title uagb-infobox-image-valign-top\"><div class=\"uagb-ifb-content\"><div class=\"uagb-ifb-title-wrap\"><h3 class=\"uagb-ifb-title\"><strong>Limitation period<\/strong><\/h3><\/div><p class=\"uagb-ifb-desc\">In Australia, there is currently no limitation period on charges for indictable offences.
