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.
