What Is an Indictable Offence?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

An indictable offence is an offence wherein the accused has the right to be ultimately heard before a judge and jury (trial by jury) in a higher court, such as the Supreme Court or District Court. 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’ 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
