What happens next

Here are four common stages of a Brampton criminal case. The steps depend on the charge and how the case proceeds.

  1. First appearance

    The court may address counsel, disclosure, and the next date. Confirm with your lawyer whether you must attend.

  2. Disclosure

    The Crown provides its evidence. Your lawyer reviews what was provided and identifies anything missing. Read the disclosure guide.

  3. Crown and judicial pre-trial

    Counsel may meet with the Crown and, where appropriate, a judge to narrow the issues and discuss next steps.

  4. Resolution or trial

    Your lawyer explains any proposed resolution and what it would mean for you. If the matter proceeds to trial, counsel prepares the defence.
