Charter Applications in Ontario

Knowing your Charter rights

The Charter rights that typically apply in the context of police interactions include the right to silence, the right to be secure against unreasonable search or seizures and the right to counsel.

Defending your rights

If your rights under the Charter are violated, you may be able to obtain a remedy under the Charter. If that is the case, then you will have to bring a Charter application. A Charter remedy may vary from the exclusion of evidence to a stay of proceedings, however the latter remedy is reserved only to the clearest of cases.
