Common Defences in Break and Enter Cases

At GSP Law, we understand that every break and enter case is unique. That’s why we take a detailed, personalized approach, carefully analyzing all evidence, examining police procedures, and identifying the strongest possible defence for your situation.

Our goal is to protect your rights and achieve the best outcome through strategic, client-focused representation. Below are some of the most common defences we may use, depending on the specifics of your case:

Lack of Intent

One of the key elements of a break and enter charge is intent to commit an indictable offence. If the Crown cannot prove that you intended to commit a crime once inside, the charge may not hold. We thoroughly examine the evidence to challenge any assumptions about your intentions.

Consent

If you had permission, either verbal or implied to enter the property, then it may not qualify as unlawful entry. We investigate the circumstances to determine whether consent was given or misunderstood, which can significantly weaken the Crown’s case.

Mistaken Identity

Break and enter charges often rely on witness descriptions or surveillance footage, which can be unreliable or unclear. We work to challenge these identifications and raise reasonable doubt about whether you were the person involved.

Alibi

If you were somewhere else at the time of the alleged offence, we can help establish a solid alibi by collecting witness statements, digital records, or surveillance evidence that confirms your whereabouts.

Charter Defences

If your rights under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms were violated during the investigation, such as unlawful search or arrest, we may be able to have key evidence excluded or the charges dismissed altogether.

Understanding How the Criminal Defence System Works

Being charged with a break and enter defence offence can be overwhelming and stressful but understanding how the legal process works can help you feel more prepared and confident.

Acting quickly and securing the support of an experienced criminal defence lawyer can make a significant difference to the outcome of your case.

Hiring a Criminal Defence Lawyer

Your defence starts with choosing the right legal representation. A lawyer experienced in break and enter cases will take the time to understand your situation, explain your rights and options in plain language, and develop a defence strategy tailored to your circumstances.

Arrest and Bail Hearing

If you are arrested, you’ll typically have a bail hearing within 24 hours. At this stage, your lawyer will advocate for your release with reasonable conditions so you can stay out of custody and focus on preparing your case.

First Court Appearance

During your first appearance, the charges will be formally presented. Your lawyer will represent you, safeguard your rights, and outline the next steps in the legal process, ensuring you’re informed and supported throughout.

Evidence Disclosure

The Crown is required to provide all relevant evidence, including police reports, surveillance, and witness statements. A strong defence depends on a thorough review of this material—your lawyer will look for inconsistencies, rights violations, and any gaps that could work in your favor.

Negotiation and Resolution

Many break and enter-related cases are resolved without trial. Your lawyer may negotiate to have the charges reduced or withdrawn or push for alternative resolutions where appropriate. If your case proceeds to trial, your lawyer will defend you vigorously to pursue the best possible result.
