We provide limited legal assistance, a one-off appointment through our criminal law clinic in relation to:

• traffic offences
• minor criminal offences
• applications for extraordinary driver’s licenses
• applications to remove driver’s license disqualifications
• pleas in mitigation.

What we DO NOT assist with:

No indictable offences

• An indictable offence is an offence that is dealt with on indictment. That is at a very basic level a piece of paper which means it is heard in either the District or Supreme court.
• They are the most serious of criminal offences.
• The easiest way to distinguish whether an offence is an indictable offence is if the section of act that the person has been charged with say it is a crime. If it is listed as an ‘offence’ then it is a summary matter.
• There are either way offences which can be dealt with on indictment or summarily. These will have a summary penalty option listed in the section of the code.

Please note that our criminal law service is therefore very limited. If we are unable assist you with your matter, we will provide you with an appropriate referral.
