Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In the Canadian legal system, the defence is eligible to elect the mode of trial for indictable offences, except for those specifically listed in the Criminal Code, such as s. 469 offences. This means the accused can choose to be tried by a judge alone, a judge and jury, or in some cases, a provincial court judge. Summary conviction offences and Criminal Code s. 553 offences do not offer this election; they are tried in the manner prescribed by law.
