The criminal justice system can be overwhelming and your matter can proceed down numerous paths. Below are answers to common questions:
Yes, but there are qualifications depending on which court imposed the sentence. It is important you understand these differences by contacting a lawyer.
Yes, as police are often lacking the necessary information required to consider whether any risk you pose to the community can be reduced. It is important to contact a lawyer to assess the merits of a bail application.
No, in the adult jurisdiction a diversion will only be recommended in limited circumstances such as lack of or limited prior history and for low level offences.
Not necessarily, as people often breach these orders due to unforeseeable or uncontrollable changes in their lives. A court will consider these changes when resentencing.
Penalties can be up to a fine, and some fines may be large depending on the situation. However, it is best you seek advice on any additional orders that may and often arise from council prosecutions.
