    Study Notes

    Hybrid Offence Trials

    • A person charged with a hybrid offence, where the Crown chooses to proceed by way of summary conviction, has multiple trial options.
    • One option is a trial in the Ontario Court of Justice.
    • Alternatively, they may have their trial in Superior Court, with the option to proceed with or without a jury.
    • Constitutionally, protection from unreasonable search applies to an invasion of one's reasonable expectation of privacy
    • This applies specifically to invasions by the state, rather than by anyone
    • The protection is based on the idea of a "reasonable expectation of privacy" rather than just any expectation of privacy
